My Ride: All on order and should be here by 28th September 2007
Hi Guys, I need some help from some of the new LCI owners.
My i-drive had a few problems from day 1 and regularly reported that there was a high rate of battery discharge. A BMW technician unclipped the battery and reset computer. Unfortunately some of the i-drive options have seemed to disappear.
The settings that I have lost include mirrors that fold in where setting alarm (I understand that this can be reset using key programming).
My question is do you guys have an option for setting the volume of the PDC in the i-drive (This was in the options under volumes but has now disappeared) and when you engage reverse does the mirror tilt down as in previous models?
I have brought the matter up to Sytner BMW, who have taken the car in today but they are at a loss to why they have disappeared.

However the mirror will not tilt while engaging reverse unless the switch you use to toggle between adjusting the driver and passenger mirrors is set to the driver side...
Hope this helps

I would love to have an option to make my mirrors auto fold and adjust the PDC volume. I've had three E60s, current one a brand new LCI 535d, and have _never_ seen any of these options in the iDrive. Are you sure you didn't dream it??

The option for the PDC volume was defiantly there. It is shown in the manual (page 96 & 97 in mine) and that was the display that I saw.
My SA has told me that this option is only available on the E65 (what is this car by the way, he said it was a 530d or 535d). He is not sure why my car showed this screen either.
The fold down mirrors on reverse is part of the memory seats apparently which I do not have on this car. I had use of a loan 525d that had this option before I got mine and apparently I may have been confused with that car.

You are right about the dipping function only coming with memory seats.
The fold function is programmable by the dealer but not from the key to my knowledge. Default setting used to be off and I had to have it enabled by a friendly dealer. When you held the key button they folded. It has since been turned off again by a software update and I havn't been back to get it fixed again.
