Default Drivers side mirror not responding

Drivers side wing mirror has stopped responding completely after a couple of weeks of owning the car, the fob nor the button inside the car have any response, but the passenger side is working fine. Not sure where to start so anything would be helpful?

Yeah, that's why I never buy from a private seller.

Please describe what's not responding (i.e. tilt, yaw, heater, auto-dim, auto-fold).

The auto fold is not responding for the drivers side on the key fob or the interior button, the mirror adjuster works fine.

I would ask the seller did they have issues with it. If it's not folding my first thought would be a bad motor. Maybe put it on ISTA+ (BMW diagnostic program) and see if you can narrow it down.

Yeah, that sounds like a bad motor (possibly intermittent) or try fiddling around with the interior switch.
