Some E60 mirrors adjust lower to see kerbs when the car is put in reverse.
Mine doesn't seem to do this, but I'm wondering if is an optional extra, face-lift add-on, or mine is broken.
Same question about voice activation button on the steering wheel.

Thanks,
Ross.

check which position your mirror controller is (driver side panel)? I think if it's on the passenger position, it will not move when in reverse (or vice versa).

Mirror control must be in 'driver' mirror position in order for 'passenger' mirror tilt down to work.
Believe it is standard equipment.
But you must have 'Voice Control' option for it to work. The steering wheel button will respond but nothing will work.

I know that in europe this option is only available if you have fully electrical seats and electrical steering wheel movement, but maybe it's the same in the U.S..

Aha, that might be it.
Tried the switch at both left and right. I'm European without electric seats, so maybe that's the problem!
Thanks.
