You may electronically adjust the side mirrors on your BMW by pressing the button on the inside of the driver’s door. To choose which mirror you want to change, first move the toggle to the left or right. Using the matching arrows on the adjustment button, the angle of the mirror can then be adjusted up, down, left, or right. The handy auto-dip feature is activated by keeping the toggle in the right hand position. The passenger mirror will automatically tilt downward to provide a better view of the curb and any nearby objects while reverse gear is engaged. Disabling this function requires moving the switch to the left. Either the fold button on the driver’s door or the lock button on the key fob can be used to fold the wing mirrors in. The rearview mirror is simple to manually place in the ideal position.

Hi all
Currently, locking the car requires just one click of the remote’s “lock” button; however, in order for the mirrors to fold, you must press and hold the button for a longer period of time.
When you lock the car with the lock button (one press), I would rather have the mirrors always fold away.
Without a doubt, it cannot be programmed with the iDrive. The dealer might have programmed it on earlier models, but I’m not sure whether that is still the case. If so, the dealer alone will do it.
Not in the UK, where they are common. I can’t confirm anything about anything lower, at least not on the Sport and M Sport.
How simple would it be to retrofit folding mirrors to the f20? I didn’t have a garage when I ordered my car, but since I’ve relocated, it will be kept in a very little garage.
How can I get the mirrors to work?
I have a 2010 BMW 1 Series M Sport, but I can’t seem to identify where on the car the mirrors go?
There isn’t a button on the side of the door, and I’ve tried pressing the lock button on the key fob while keeping it down, but that doesn’t work because the door is already locked; all it does is keep clicking. Someone mentioned programming the key fob to make it close.
What should I do? As I can see, the mirrors can turn in, so I’m confident it goes in. I’m afraid if I don’t force them in, it’ll break off since you know how some drivers are…!
Will also be stamped on engine bay parts, stickers inside the door, and the bottom right corner of the windscreen. WBA is the standard initial for BMW VINs.
If you don’t have an automatic folding mirror system, you can manually push the mirrors in and out.
The button for folding the mirrors ought to be located above the window controls on the driver’s side armrest. They are not fitting if it is not there.
As others have stated, auto fold is not available if the button adjacent to the mirror adjust button is not present. However, you will be able to manually push them in. It requires more pressure than you might initially believe, even if it might feel like you’re about to break them. Just tuck them away
Only one of the cars I’ve had has electric mirrors. And just one of those, a car with automatic mirrors, had a broken mirror.
It is possible, but you will need to buy new mirrors (and paint them to match), a new control panel for the door (which is difficult to obtain unless you want to get ripped off by BMW), plus wiring (and it gets even more difficult if you don’t have power/memory seats).
How do the side mirrors on a BMW x1 automatically fold?
Either the comfort access lock on the door handle or the key fob lock button can be used for this. Your mirrors will fold in if you just keep it there for a short while.
When you hold the lock choices, you can program it to activate for a shorter time.
When employing this feature, the side mirrors will retract back to normal when you open or unlock your doors.
I recently purchased a used 2018 X1 Sport. I’ve tried briefly depressing the lock button on the key fob, but the door mirrors will not fold. Do ALL X1 models have the ability to fold, or may I only have a simpler model without this capability? In the car settings, I don’t find anything that would enable this. Can I manually fold if necessary if auto folding is not possible? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
Your mirrors should be able to be folded if you have a button by the mirror controls. It must be coded if you want it to fold automatically each time you lock the car. Invoking BimmerCode
I appreciate your response, Rounderman. Only buttons to modify each mirror are present by the X1 mirror controls. Therefore, I’m considering the possibility that my model doesn’t support that function.
Thank to everybody. Overall, I believe that since power folding mirrors are not an option on this car, no amount of Bimmercode will be able to activate them.
Can a BMW’s power folding mirrors be folded manually?
Yes, however if you actively hit the button to give yourself more time to fold them in, it means you can leave them unfolded if you expect frost or ice overnight because you won’t have to force them to do so. No matter what, coding will cause them to collapse as soon as the car is locked.
Are there folding mirrors on the BMW X3?
The reason being that I’m unsure if an X3 will fit in and out of my garage without it being a tight fit. It’s a tad wider than my present vehicle.
Yes, press the button located just in front of the window switch. I frequently use it to enter my garage.
I don’t know if folding mirrors are standard in NA, but my UK 30d SE doesn’t have them; they were an expensive option.
By the way, for the imperial guys, the X3’s width with enlarged mirrors is 2098mm, or 82.59 inches.
Works perfectly for my X3 in Germany in this manner, however you must have specified the options “mirrors” and “keyless” at the dealer.
The need for the coding arises from NA’s prohibition on this feature. I believe it has to do with legal issues and dangers from traps. Same goes for remotely locking the boot and locking the sunroof and windows while maintaining lock on the key fob. These all function in the UK without further code.
In Toronto, GLK has this automatic mirror folding feature, but not the X3.
In the United States, it’s the exact reverse. Automatic folding mirrors are not even an option when purchasing a GLK. I detested it when MB made their cars less expensive for the US market.
I have the option for folding side mirrors, but I can’t figure out how to make them automatically fold in after you park your car and turn off the motor. I don’t want to hit the button repeatedly. Why do you do this?

How come my mirrors won’t budge?
Sometimes the mirrors can be moved from top to bottom, but when the driver tries to move the mirrors sideways, nothing happens. This is frequently brought on by either an electrical problem with the switch itself or a problem with the electrical relay that transmits a signal to the motor that drives the mirror. Contact a nearby ASE-certified mechanic who can examine the switch for damage if you notice this symptom. The switch is frequently the part producing this problem, so the mechanic will usually replace it.
