Passenger mirror tilt when in reverse

I've done a testdrive last friday (after having already ordered my E70 back in november.., still waiting..) and noted that the passenger mirror no longer tilts when driving backwards (independant of the mirror switch)
I liked this feature very much on my E53, and it was controlled on/off by the mirror control switch.
I tried this on the E70, but doesn't seem to work, maybe related to the rear-view cam (which was on the demo model)?

Can anyone confirm that this feature is still in operation on the E70?

Check to make sure you don't have the mirror selector on the passenger side mirror (as if you were adjusting it). If you have it on the passenger side mirror, it will not move.

I believe it is, but it can be turned on and off, so maybe the car you test drove had it turned off. I should be getting my E70 this weekend or next, so maybe someone else who already has theirs can give you more insight.

I'm almost positive it is still there though, and was there on one that I test drove.

WagnerX5 beat me to it. and now that he said that, I recall being told that very thing by a salesman during a test drive.

Yeah I experimented with the Mirror Selector switch to try to make it work, but maybe it was somehow turned off through settings.
Good to know that you guys confirm the function is still there, I will enjoy it on my new E70 (when I get it enabled..:-) )

Keep in mind that it is an additional option here... (mirror package).

Maybe the demo car you drove didnt have the option installed
