Side mirror auto turn down when reverse?

[bmw7833]

I found out an interesting this morning in my fren' e39.The side mirror of his e39 will auto turn down when i put the stick to reverse. Amazing! As my e39 can not do this when reserve! Our car spec are 100% same.I wonder why? This is set-able by computer?

what i know only certain models ada... for it to work, the switch selector of the side mirror must be on the driver side.

Nope, both cars without PDC.

Hmmm..The mirror tilt function only happen in passenger side when the mirror switch in driver side.

Hairan ya..??

Had this feature as far back as my 2000 E39. The side mirror selector switch must be on the driver side and the gear selector must be in reverse for the pax side mirror to dip.

As far as I can remember, it is not selectable on the E39. If you dont want it to dip, move the selector to the pax side. It is also not selectable on the E90.

BTW it was a 525 E39. Dont know if this feature is avail on the 523 or 520

semua boleh lah.. as long as the mirror adjust switch is put to driver's side.. because when u put to passenger's side means designer assumes u can and want to adjust to whatever position u want immediately. If on driver's side means u can adjust driver's side and hence passenger's side is automatically tilted for reverse for u to see the curb or watnot.

If I'm not mistaken, this feature comes with the memory seat function.

These are not hidden functions, rather functions that you have not been aware of but it's there from day 1. U should have a read through the user manual.
