Yes, I read the owners manual in its entirety. I’ve read that holding down your remote’s lock button for a short period of time will cause the mirrors to fold. I haven’t done this and am uncertain as to whether it will remain that way when I lock regularly the following time.
Yes, the button that folds the mirrors is the small round one that is located to the left of the left-right adjustment switch.
I have access to both premium and comfort levels, but I’m not sure which of those plans includes that button.
Of course, you may just press the button, but I’d prefer if it were done automatically. It would be so simple to program, but alas, I can’t have everything.
They have a gadget that accomplishes this that you can connect up for the 3 series. I emailed them to request assistance with the 1 series. If people submit requests, I’m confident it will be completed more quickly.

- Remote window operation: On all models, the original remote allows for one-touch operation of the windows and the sunroof (US and Euro)
- unlocking of doors automatically when the ignition is off. Avoid needing to reopen the doors by pulling them twice.
- The module can be independently enabled or disabled thanks to user-programmability. Even if the automobile battery is disconnected, all settings are kept.

How should my folding wing mirrors be adjusted?
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.

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 (but that seems odd for a BMW)
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.

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.

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.
