Mirrors dont fold
 

:) Hello all, I have an X5 3.0.d, when I press the button to fold the mirrors they do, but then come back to the same possition, They dont stay folded. Any suggestions on what part I need to change ?. The BMW tech said either Ihave to change the whole mirror or reprogram the motors.
Is it a do it your self repair ?
Thanks in advance from Spain.

This is not an uncommon problem.

Check out this thread. My mirror gremlin was resolved when the dealer replaced my mirrors. No problems since.

:goodluck:

mine wwere replaced by dealer also once.

could be door module

The door mods had a known issue in older versions. You should get the door modules replaced with newer ones which will have newer software.

Mirrors fold? :confused: is this an option that can be retro fitted? Sorry to change subject, but just a quick question about that :D

Not sure, dont see why not. The motors are in the mirrors so that`s not a problem. The switch that makes them fold is in with the mirror adjuster in the drivers door. I use mine a lot, esp in car parks, couldn`t do without it.
