Even after you have programmed them to where you want them to be?

+1

Maybe the reason it's moving is that's the previous owners settings and you didn't save your settings? I don't know what i'm talking about but maybe that's why?

Ive notice that on mine to. Every time i fold the mirrors and i unfold them i end up having to adjust them back to my liking.

ive had that problem before. bring it to the dealer theyll replace the motor and ull be good to go.. hope this helps and goodluck!

[shiccobm]

Yes I do my preference set and I don't have auto folding mirrors

I will go back to dealer and let them know , lol I thought I was losing my mind there . Thanks for your feedback .

[ja.]

no problem. it is annoying as hell to see ur mirrors move everytime u get in ur very nice car. it drove me freakin insane im sure u feel the same haha

[kdbryce]

could just be the memory in the key

not sure though.. in my 328 my mirrors were in different positions every time i got in for like a week. weirdest thing

Can't you just program the mirror position you want to one of the memory settings on the seat...?

I had this in my driver side mirror -- took it back to the dealer under warranty and they replaced the mirror motor. have not had the problem since.

Yes you can and I do have it saved , it's just chooses to forget . Just the driver mirror though , it was able to remember all my other settings

I had the same problem. If I remember correctly, there was some sort of faulty seal with the wiring that was causing the mirror to move. The dealership ended up replacing the window motor and problem solved. However, it took three trips before the dealership could replicate the problem. . .

Same issue on my CPO '07 E91. Passenger mirror had advanced CRS (Can't Remember Stuff) and was replaced under warranty by my dealer. Unfortunately, a falling tree branch severed the mirror during a storm a few months later so the mirror was again replaced by a body shop. No problems since.

Many members have reported this issue with their mirror moving unknowingly. Can be dangerous if you're not paying attention. One member looked his mirror thinking he was in the clear and he pulled out almost hitting a car.

I'm sorry, I addmit it's me who pushes it up or down every night just to mess with your head in the morning.

I had my mirror motor replaced on the passenger side as it would not come back up to default position after coming out of reverse.

[skatenc123]

mine did this for the first 3 months i had my car. and randomly stopped 4 months ago. havent tried to move it scince.

[t3t5]

This worked for me (Mind you, I already had my driver side motor replaced by BMW a month ago and the problem came back)...

Save the mirror setting on the seat memory 1, and then move the same driver mirror a little and save it in seat memory 2.

Then press memory buttons from 1, it will move in all weird directions. Then press 2, and it will move in all weird directions from memory 1. That's how I duplicated the problem.

My driver side mirror does the same thing on fold/unfold and even goes crazy after I reverse... Just building up warranty problems and trying to duplicate the problem so I can tell bmw how to as well.

I currently have this issue with my passenger mirror. Currently it is working fine, but every now and again I'll see it happen. It sucks because I was on the freeway once and when I checked to switch lanes, it was tilted all the way up. Good thing I didn't hit anyone.

The bad thing for me is that my car did not come with folding mirrors; so I purchased folding mirrors off of ebay. Did the retrofit and coded it myself. I don't think these will be covered under warranty.

If you are using multiple keys, you have to make sure your using the key that the memory is saved on. otherwise if your using the second key it wont adjust to your settings.

[shiccobm]

I had no idea that this was a common problem . Holy ...
My 128 had power folding mirrors and I had no problems with the mirrors .
