X5 Folding mirrors problem
Wondering if anyone has had the same problem and if so, what would the diagnosis be and would it be an easy fix?
When I press the button to fold the mirrors in, they fold in and then fold right back out. This just happened all of a sudden and had no previous problems. Since the first time this happened, I am not able to fold my mirrrors in. Thanks, |

I am not sure about the fix, but the stealers want to charge about $1000 to fix on mine. I told them I can live without the feature at that price.

This is a common problem, easily fixed (max 30min), with NO COST!!!
Just open the mirror housing using these instructions http://www.xoutpost.com/attachments/x...g?d=1172692777 and then fix a small metal pin using these instructions http://www.mabm.fr/forums/index.php?showtopic=705 Good luck |

I had the same problem, but was still under warranty. I had them change the mirrors, they tried to tell me that they were aftermarket add-ons!! The Stealership also tried to b/s me into paying half for the warranty work because the mechanincs wouldn't be paid full price for warranty work!!
Sorry your mirrors aren't working, it really pissed me off too!

Mirror
A related note, I’ve got one of these folding mirrors in my storage space and am happy to give it to someone. I bought it some time ago on eBay thinking it was the older, non-folding variety that I have on my car.
My drivers side frame is rusting under the paint, which I gather is quite common, so I figured I’d buy one, fix it up and swap it in. Unfortunately the folding variety showed up. I have no idea if the folding and mirror functionalies work, but am happy to donate it to someone if they need it. PM me if interested.
