Is there a way to turn off mirror ducking when backing up?

Nothing formal that I know of, but if you leave the mirror select switch on passenger it defeats a the tilt backup feature, flip it back to the driver mirror and it’s back

^What he said. It's the same on every BMW with the function. Leave adjustment switch on passenger mirror to defeat, driver's side to enable. I believe you can code the feature off entirely too. I think I remember seeing that option in Carly.
I love having the tilt down function for curbside parking (parallel and backing into spots w/ curbs on pass side). But I usually defeat it when pulling into the garage or the like when it is more important to see what's behind rather than down.

Thanks. I’ll try that. I’ve got kids and dogs all over, rather not hit one.

I find the dip function perfectly useless. It literally points at what you just ran over.
I set a preset in my 3 position that is the same as 1 but with both mirrors dipped but about half what the factory design is. Now i can use useful dipped mirrors on demand only when I need and much less wear and tear on the motor. I keep the selector switch set to passenger side to prevent the useless factory dip.

Funny, one of my favorite things about BMW's. Same for my wife. I turn it off usually only when backing into the garage.

My wife leaves hers on. Coincidentally she also hits the curb more than me. Like I said. It's literally pointed at what you just drove into/over. I aim mine at the ground just behind the car I.e. what I'm just ABOUT to drive over.

Figuring out what I'm ab to hit is what I use PDC for. Well, that, the camera, and the ultra cool Android feature that shows the actual distance on the screen and MID. I love it!
