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 (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.

On a BMW X1, how do you fold the automated side mirrors?
Nothing could be simpler for this final type of mirror, as your side mirrors will automatically fold down and open once you unlock or open your BMW X1. You may still manually fold down the mirrors on some automatic versions, but you should use extreme caution because, often, doing so requires opening the electric opening, which resets the mirrors’ travel.
If you have an iDrive navigation system, I believe you may access it via the settings menu. If not, I am clueless. Read the owner’s manual, if necessary.
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. I’m sure if folks put in requests it may get done quickly.
Product attributes:
- 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.
- When in shop/diagnostic mode, the module is entirely passive, as if it had never even been installed. It disappears from view for diagnostic software.
Mirrors that fold up are included in the Premium Package. The door mounted switch is the only way to operate the folding mirrors, according to the manuals for both iDrive and non-iDrive vehicles. They automatically fold out at 25 mph after folding in up to roughly 12 mph.
When the car is locked, the mirrors on my 135 fold. I know there must be a setting, but I can’t recall how I started it. At roughly 30 km/h, they automatically fold out. The mirrors didn’t usually fold up, but one day after playing with them, I closed the car with my thumb on the door handle (C/A). Since then, they have been automatically folding.
I’m not sure why. My car doesn’t have electric folding mirrors, thus I haven’t worked out how to fold the mirrors in.
You simply shove a family member who has a three series in with your hand. I haven’t tried it on an X1, but it ought to work the same.
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.
Do the mirrors on the BMW x3 fold down?
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?

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 the mirrors on the CX 30 power-folding?
The CX-30’s 2.5L 4-cylinder engine is the same one that powers the Mazda3 and the larger CX-5. The engine is always ready to go without the irritating wait that sometimes accompanies turbocharged engines thanks to its 186 horsepower output without the need of turbochargers. However, the turbo engine uses ordinary fuel to generate 227 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque for those who enjoy driving and want a bit extra excitement. The output will rise to 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque with premium petrol. A 6-speed automatic transmission distributes power to all four wheels. With an EPA rating of up to 24 mpg city, 31 mpg highway with the non-turbo and 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway with the turbocharged engine, fuel economy is still good despite the reasonably strong engine. The 2.5S, Select, and Preferred trims are among the eight available. Premium, 2.5 Turbo, Premium Plus, Carbon Edition, and 2.5 Turbo all fall under this category.
The base CX-30 comes equipped as standard with 16-inch alloy wheels, body-colored power folding side mirrors, automated headlights, auto high-beam, rain-sensing wipers, and keyless entry with push button start. It also includes LED headlights, taillights, and daytime running lights. The CX-30’s interior features voice-activated infotainment playing through an 8-speaker stereo, 2 USB audio inputs, Bluetooth, steering-wheel mounted controls for the cruise control and stereo, an 8.8-inch center display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch LCD meter display, lane departure warning, lane keep assist functions, forward collision braking with pedestrian detection, driver attention alert, and a dynamic radar-controlled cruise control with lane departure warning.
The Preferred package adds a sunroof, roof side rails, heated 8-way power driver’s seat, memory feature for the driver’s seat and exterior mirrors, and lighted vanity mirrors.
The new Carbon Edition includes red leather seats, heated side mirrors, 18-inch black aluminum wheels, and special paint.
Fully leather-trimmed seats, a power rear liftgate, adaptive front headlights, a full-color heads-up display, satellite radio, a Bose 12-speaker stereo, paddle shifters, a traffic sign reader, and a voice-activated navigation system are all added by the Premium Package to the Preferred trim.
The auto-dimming rearview mirror is an addition to the 2.5 Turbo, which has all the Preferred trim’s features.
Front and rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic with automated braking, a surround-view camera, and traffic jam assistance are among the fantastic features that the top-of-the-line 2.5 Premium Plus adds to the vehicle’s already impressive list of amenities (at speeds under 40 mph).
