Not sure about folding mirrors.

The demonstrator did not have electric seats.

Are you saying you don't have electric mirrors, but you do have the dipping wing mirror?

Yes that's correct.

I only have electric/memory seats and that option also comes with the dipping mirror.

Not standard on the 330 and 335 in the UK unless you have folding mirrors or electric seats as mentioned above.

And I have folding mirrors only, and do have the dipping mirror function.

OK, thanks for the responses guys.

I guess this clears things up and leaves me with no dipping wing mirror.

Oh well, I have the reversing camera, so that should be fine....

The things you learn! I never knew my car could do this! Thanks.

Mmmmm not good - thought this would be standard as per my Golf mk7. Think my build is locked in so can't add folding mirrors :-(

I think you could have it coded surely..

I'd have thought so as it only uses the same hardware as fitted to all F30s, electric mirrors.

Bens3T · 12-27-2013, 04:57 PM

Would be good.. Can anyone confirm this?

Rich9600 · 12-27-2013, 05:19 PM

Power seats and folding mirrors come with key specific mirror position memory. This memory function and return to position may be hardware dependant?...

Arh... Yes, that memory function would be required.

This basically sucks arse

I have had this basic feature on every bmw ever owned. Why would the sales staff not think to inform people of such changes to std items

Cannot also believe the I drive no longer connects through USB to iPhone without EBT or pro nav but will happily play tracks from a Flashdrive!

Where are all the BMW geniuses when ordering

Mate, I feel your pain! BMW should really fire all the sale w@nkers! Customers seeking advice should resort to forums like this one and not the useless retards at dealerships who just want their commission...

WTF? That better not be true!

BMW dealerships have a poor reputation which has been bourne true by the survey in Auto Express.

My car has to go in for a seat cover change (worried they'll damage trim) and also there is a massive gap between the bumper top bit and the bonnet which seems to have increased ever since they replaced the front bumper after the accident. The bodyshop guys are very helpful but I've had to point out so many fitting errors. Drives me nuts. Hope the fix is easy. It's been in 5 times to get the alignment of lights and bumper as when new.

MWA · 12-28-2013, 09:49 AM

Typical BMW service... Takes a month to have the car booked in (If you require courtesy car). Then they have your car in for 2 days then call you, car is all ready for pickup..

You go over the repair with them, and they say we've had a technician test the car out, took it out on a road test and found no errors
