Mirror dips in reverse.

Brian mc21 · 03-04-2014, 02:12 PM

Noticed on my car when I select reverse the p/s mirror dips. Are they both supposed to dip or just the one. Thanks.

Just the passenger side.

if you dont ant it to dip, move the wing mirror selector to the right and it cancels it

Exactly. It's designed to let you see the kerb when parallel parking.

You have to have the mirror selector to left (the passenger side) to stop in dipping when in reverse.

I remember when this first happened to me years ago on my first E36, wondered what was going on! Glad your sorted now

You don't need to dip the passengers mirror to find the kerb, just use your wheels.

When you hear a crunch, that'll be the kerb. Isn't that the most common method?

That's exactly how my mrs parks

and also the reason she never drives my car

Mine was doing this and I have not had to play around with my mirror selector.

All I did was set the mirror back to where I wanted it when it dipped then I pressed memory and then 1. So if you have memory seats you can set this function by means of that and store it permanently.
