Hi guys,
I had the same problem where my passenger mirror wouldnt return to place after reversing. Took it back to the dealer and they sorted. My apologies for not knowing what exactly they did but the problem hasnt reoccurred ever since and its been 2 months.

I tried deactivating the last seat position but it's only been a day and a half so I can't tell if it's fixed or not. Unfortunately I think since we're so far in to the E60 life cycle, BMW will probably not waste any resources to find a fix for this "bug"

Thanks for the heads up.

Fingers crossed it has been resolved so that we can all hassle our dealers for the fix.

Did you read all of the other thread? I think Rudy is eluding to the fact that the bug has been fixed, either by hardware replacement of the mirror or software upgrade, just not sure which...

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

The reality is, at any level this whol issue isn't a big deal to me. Even if I have to readjust the right mirror slightly every few days, it takes a few seconds. Big deal. Actually, in some ways the car does to much for me anyway.... I'm still not sure I want active cruise control making my decisions, and would have liked it better if I had at least the option of disabling the "active" part of it.
