kay thanks man imma get tihs fixed. it gets very annoying.

My MB E320 does the same thing.

My 2001 gets stuck sometimes too. If you tip your memory button on your seat it should return to normal programed position - you can do this even while driving. Not perfect but it's a workaround. If you don't want the tilt down feature - switch it off by switching the mirror adjust selector switch to the passenger side.

Also if you swap out the CD changer for an Alpine MP3 changer (cheap enough) you will get many more miles between swapping discs.

Thanks for telling me the trick for the mirror. I'll try that next time i drive the X5. I will also look into the MP3 changer.

My 2004 4.4 has had a few issue related to cold start idle and the variable value timing system, the dealer has made a few repairs, not sure I would want to own this car out of warrantee.

I aslo woulldn't want to own a Beamer that is out of warranty.
