Hi. I have been assuming that this is not possible,.. but then again considering that it is just software it should be possible to change!
When you stick the gear in reverse the 'other' side mirror folds down so that you can see the curb. But for me it folds down too far! I only want it to fold about 50% of what it now does.
Does anyone have any ideas or experience on how to change this? Can the dealer adjust it?

I agree, it is software and SHOULD be possible.
BUT: this is possible for BMW Munich's engineers. I haven't found or heard about a dealer that can do it.

Does it also go too low for your use or is it just me?

My Ride: 535d M Sport, Silver-grey, Black Dakota, Media, Visibility, HUD, Foldy mirrors, Hot seats.
I've got the electrically foldable mirrors, is the movement on reverse something the dealer can activate or is it another option because that would be really useful IMO. If it is something they can activate has anyone had it done? And in the UK how much did they charge?
Thanks
Thanks

It can't be activated, it has to be ordered from the factory. It's an option.

so just go to your dealer and tell them they forgot to activate and they should do it for you free of charge
cheers

I wish it was designed so it would simply dip down to the last setting. After it dipped, you could manually adjust it and it would remember where you left it off next time it dipped down.
