Anyone experiencing the same problem? Won't happen all the time but after about 3-4 reverses I notice I have to re-adjust the mirror

yes, same here. The mirror shifted slightly aiming more toward the body.

Same here as well. I thought that my wife that reset the settings but after a few days
I realized that it's doing it on its own.

+1 that worked for me as well when it happened. i guess doing it by hand just sort of "pops" it back where it should be.

You mean physically move the mirror by hand? How do you "reset" it?

Have had same problem a few times (very random). I used the seat memory button to get the mirror back to the correct position.

In the US versions is there an idrive setting that pull mirrors back automatically when you shut off car and back to out position when you start it?
