New Problem - Side mirror fails to return to normal after reverse

[jcz1]

This one just happened to me this morning. Backed up, both side mirrors tilt downward, as they should. Upon switching to Drive, the passenger side mirror remained in the downward-tilted direction. I was able to move it back to normal position.

First time this happened, owned since May. Has anyone else seen this?

I was actually waiting for someone to post this problem. Mine does the samething but not all the time? I'll wait until it get's worse then I'll take it in.

Cheer up, My X5 does it routinely, I like to turn it off, don't see any advantage at all but that is beside the point. The more stuff you have the more to go wrong. It will never happen for the dealer

Related question: I have a bone stock C, no options. Are my mirrors supposed to do this? Or is this part of a package?

Yup, yup, me too!
Making a list, and checking it twice - then we'll see if the dealer is naughty or nice.

Only C's come with this standard option.
I think you have to enable the feature.
I personally don't use it.

It is selectable in the options settings. My passenger side mirror tilted down about 50% of the time when I put in reverse from day one, noticed when I picked up the car. The dealer replaced the mirror and I haven't had a problem since.

Me too.

The stuck mirror thing just happened to me yesterday. And the outside temp stuck at 57 degrees. Maybe we (my car and I) caught a virus from this forum .

Anyway, now I have an excuse to visit the service department and get the onboard 'puter software upgraded.

BTW, I just posted up new pics of my latest mods in another thread.

That's what I plan to do...Get the new software from the DLR at next oil change...Hopefully some of these little intermittent electrical bugaboos go away.

I've got this problem on my passenger side.
