Is it like a very high pitch squeal when folding them in? If so, I hv that too on my driver side. I asked BMWHK to fix it but they overlooked it 
Hv to remind them again on my next visit which should be soon because I also get squealing brake in the rear.

Yeah that's the noise, on the driver side too what do you know. It squeals after the mirror is all the way folded in as if it is continuing to fold in.
I guess it's a common problem huh?

Yes, that's the noise, can be quite embarassing sometimes when others are nearby... I guess it's a common problem huh?

I have to remember my ODO everytime I take the car in for service.
Shouldn't it be safer to have ur car serviced at Chai Wan? Cos they have less roads available to them for 'testing' purposes. On avg, u need to spend more than a few hrs to cover 60kms of road distance on HK Island.

They should have ur odo reading printed on the repair order form issued when u dropped off the car.

I got the mirror noise too, so that's a common one. I will have it fixed when I take it in for service next time.

Bringing the car to Chai Wan is not good for me as I live on the Kowloon side. I dun need to worry about this problem for a couple of years as I decided not to extend the warranty so they wouldn't be touching my car for a couple of years.

Yes they do have it printed, but you give them the repair order before they bring the car down so you still got to remember it one way or the other, anyways this is just a figure of speech. The point is they use a lot of km to test your car after a repair which leds me to think they are using your car for some other purpose.

You're a brave soul, I recall BMWHK quoting me close to $100K to fix my old 730i. After that experience, I swear to myself I will keep extending the warranty for as long as they offer it....haha.
