I heard one guy complaining that the auto fold mirrors take too long to deploy. This reminded me of our "first world problems" insead of third world problems where people really do have it bad some people complain of their first world problems. For example,
"i accidentally referred to my iphone as just my phone so i didnt sound as cool" lol

Another little thing about the mirrors is, when the drivers mirror select switch is moved to the left or in the drivers position and you put the car in reverse the passengers mirror should tilt down. If the drivers select switch is to the right for the passengers mirror and the car is put in reverse the passengers mirror should stay fixed. I might be reversed here on the positions of the switch, but I am sure you will get the just here.

I guess that one time when I was driving and I had to fold the mirrors in (tight squeeze on a narrow street with a car coming towards me, I didn't want to smash my mirrors against the cars either side) must have been below 30mph. Thinking of where that was now, it was probably 15-25mph I'd have been going.
Thanks, but I really think everyone on the forum knows about that one.
There's been 74 threads about it over the last few years ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
