I was told by my dealer in South Africa, that the tilt in reverse was a setting that could be programmed at the dealer. I opted not to have it, seeing as I harldy ever parallel park!
I am sure it's a dealer programmable option....on all cars |

Well my left side mirror tilts when I select reverse (manual)......
But then I am in the UK !!! To be honest, I wish it wouldn't because I don't find it at all helpful....I want to see the "proper" view from the mirror, not just the ground....

You can order the tilting mirror as an separate option, atleast in Europe.

I guess, to keep costs down, they do not have a seperate memory chip for the angle of the mirrors themselves, and thus, as everyone has different angles they keep their mirrors at, it would be a very difficult design, or near impossible, to be able tilt the mirror and then restore it to its previos setting without a memory storing it. |

Well acording to the product information manual: the tilt down mirror function is part of power seat option, so all 330 will have it and any 325 with power seats or the premium package. (US cars)
So if the people that said they have basic 325's are correct in having it they must not have basic cars, they have to have at least the power seats.... if someone does NOT have the power seats and this option please say so (the manula also says this is a seperate option, which makes me wonder if it is a product of the key memory system, as the key memory also controls the mirror settings, climate and audio systems..... so maybe the dealer can turn it on) BellasBMW do you have the power seats, I do not see it in your car description? have fun! |
