My car is at the dealers this week having further software work, so if this is possible i'll get it enabled, whilst it's in.

My car as far as i know does not have the optional mirrors that BMW refer to as "Interior and exterior mirrors with automatic anti-dazzle function - incl folding door mirrors" Now my mirrors are fully electric & as far as i know they're heated as well. Not sure about anti-dazzle as i can't say i've noticed as i've not driven the car at night yet.

Now can my car have the folding wing mirrors activated by the dealer? If they can, how would i initiate the folding to occur?

Cheers,

Our 4.4i X5 doesn't have them, or at least they are not activated. Did your dealer activate them somehow?

When I said Electric mirror I was referring to electric folding mirrors. If you can't fold your mirrors electrically, you can't have the automatic folding option with the key. If you have the folding option, you will have a tiny button next to the mirror selection button on the door handle at the driver side.

The programming part allows you to fold the mirror by pressing and holding the lock button in your key in some markets. With the folding mirror option, you can also manually fold the mirror by pressing the little button I mentioned above. This doesn't require the dealer to do anything.

Since you are having your car in, you can always ask them if it's possible for you.
