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.

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.

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.

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?

DS3 mirrors do they fold in?
Although it has excellent freeway manners, the car really shines when you enter the twistier B-roads. In the warm fall weather, traveling through the picturesque Welsh countryside was a true pleasure.
The carefully designed suspension smoothly absorbs any lumps and bumps while maintaining stability. And I was confident that the boot would accommodate all of my equipment. The stuff I required for the three-day PCotY trip was never going to be an issue because I’ve been filling the car with boxes, bags, and buggies ever since my gorgeous granddaughter recently arrived. In actuality, a few recent trips to the dump presented more of a hardship for the Citroen’s practicality.
Although the car’s rear seats can’t completely fold flat, the 60:40 split backrests can flop forward with ease and have let it swallow large amounts of yard waste.
Life with the DS3 has, for the most part, been easy. I have, however, run into a few annoyances. The automobile is hesitant to get out of bed in the morning! When you lock the car, the driver’s door mirror usually folds automatically, but occasionally it won’t, and the power steering is a little sluggish in the beginning. The main problem I’ve had, though, is weather-related.
I’m more conscious than ever that our automobile doesn’t have heated seats as winter approaches and the temperature drops. First of all, the available leather upholstery is a little cool on the elderly posterior, and the options don’t include heated seats either. So I’m hoping this winter will be warmer than it was last year.
How is a mirror reset?

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.
My power mirrors aren’t working; why?
For the power mirror to adjust to the proper position, a set of pins, a plastic mirror glass holder, and a little motor are required. Your mirror won’t move correctly if these break.

If you reside in a cold, icy area, ice may also make it difficult for your mirrors to move.
A fuse can have blown if you just installed new electronics in your automobile, like a radio or battery.
