that cheat only works if you are first able to disable the feature via switch to the left...

If you close the mirrors? Wow, useful suggestion, thanks!
After 30 replies, we still don't know WHERE is the voice in the iDrive menus.

Well, hello!!! If you call him kit then he has to be German! Remember David Hasselhoff?

in all seriousness, i hate the tilt down feature, my mirror never goes back to the right place. then i find myself doing 70 on the parkway going to change lanes, realizing i cant see shit.
Craig, you should have your dealer take a look at your mirror. The mirror should tilt down when you shift in reverse and go back up to the original position when you get out of reverse. That's the way mine works on both the E46 and the E60.

Tonymac

a) here we say 'voice' to indicate an element of a menu/list, I bet it was the same in ENG as well.

b) I needed to switch a pair of times from R to D and then to R, to have the cheat of the switch working (and it actually works). I repeat, I remember it was in the iDrive in V19 or V24.

c) I'm happy you had fun with this topic, but remember it would be easy to do irony about you.
