2006 Retractable Mirrors ???
 

I've been shopping for a new X5 and I wanted to ask the group a question.

Do the 2006 model year X5's have retractable mirrors?

While I was at the dealer I asked one of the sales guys and he gave me a brief "no, I don't think so" as he was rushing off to help someone else. I also checked edmunds.com and their web site lists power retractable mirrors as "not available". Did BMW remove retractable mirrors as an option for 2006? Can anyone confirm their availability? I know they were available in the 05's.

Thanks.

My 2006 has retractable mirrors.

and your post is in the wrong section :)

my 2006 X5 has the passenger side rearview mirrors tilt down. The driver side mirror does not move at all.

Mashallah Beautiful car
 

Kuwaitino,

I am currently in the process of buying a 2006 X5 4.8iS. I would just like to ask you...how's the performance of the car been so far considering were from similar 'hot' climate countries. Knowing that i ordered the car and it should arrive in Sept this year.

Cheers!

Uaeiyah

Thanks for the replys. I'm wondering if there is a difference for US equipped cars.

retractable only on 4.8 and premium package - would have loved them on my '06 4.4, but we in the USA are limited to certain packages and cannot pick'n'choose individual options

Thanks... I expect to get the 'Premium Package' so I'm good to go! :thumbup:

FYI, Premium pkg 3.0's do not have it.

2006 X5 3.0i has retractable mirror
 

My wife picked up a 2006 X5 3.0i w/ retractable mirrors. I'm looking through the BMW website and on our Window sticker and I cannot find which package it came on. We have Premium, Sport, Auto, Cold Weather, Auto-Dimming mirrors, Xenon, Nav & Rear Climate Controls. I looked at each option on the website and none lists retractable mirrors and yet ours has that. :confused:

our x5 06 3.0i also has retractable mirrors...I think it comes with either the premium pakcage or with the auto dimming mirrors

I have 06 X5. with them.. and also when I place my X in Rev. my right Mirror lower down so I can see ground.. and my is U.S. Spec..

I have an '06 4.4i. Mine are retractable by pushing a button down near the mirror positioning switch (they don't retract automatically).

My 2006 X5 3.0i also has the retractable mirrors which is not the same as the passanger side mirror droping down when in reverse. It has the sport, premium, cold weather, auto dimming mirrors but I don't know exactly which package it was included with. Probably the auto dimming mirrors.

Automatic-dimming, power folding outside rear-view mirrors let you regularly check the vehicles around you without becoming blinded by headlight glare. Convenient "puddle" lights in the mirrors offer illumination when entering or exiting the vehicle (std. on X5 4.8is; included in X5 4.4i Premium Package; optional on X5 3.0) that's all under the Premium Package.

Automatic tilt-down of right outside mirror for visibility of curb when backing up

well done Wood56. Thanks.

I test drove a 2006 in Canada and it had electric fold in mirrors.

yeah my 06 3.0 has this optional though don't ever recall the sales person pointing this out to me until i found out for myself.

If you slide the mirror switch to the passenger side the tilting mirror feature does not work. Very helpful when backing out of a parking spot.

I have the power folding mirrors, honestly I never use them... yes they add wow factor for people, but if I were looking at them as a separate option I would definatley not get them. Just my 2cents.

Both my X5s have folding mirrors

Does anyone know what are the part numbers if you want to install this mirror folding option? I live in Singapore where parking lots and one way streets can be really tight. good to have this function.
Thanks guys.

my 2005 3.0d sport has retractable mirrors

I have an 06 4.4 with retractable mirrors (little button by drivers side windows button folds mirrors flat against car at about 20°) really great for parking lots.

Mine fold in then right back out -they wont stay- I would like them to for
my narrow garage.

Same here. Is that a defect/warranty issue?

The Auto dimming mirrors on the 3.0i include automatic dimming outside mirror, power folding mirrors and puddle lamps
