Re: tilting of the mirror when in reverse mode
It depends if your cars comes fitted with this option. From what I know, pre-Fl E46 (sedan, at least) uses 3 wires to power the mirrors, whereas the FL sedans uses like 7 or more wires. The extra wiring is to control things like memory, reverse tilt, heating etc.

Any of you know if the M3 mirrors controls are deactivated at highway speeds?
coz this morning after i got onto the highway i realised the mirrors are a little out, and i tried to adjust, but somehow cannot. then i tried to fold the mirrors also cannot. But when I parked my car, the controls came back to life again. My m3 mirorrs going cranky?

morning!
Are the angle of tilting for the Reverse Kurb Viewer adjustable?
For me, it is tilting too much that I can't see if my backside is knocking into anything behind me, except that the wheels are not knocking into the kurb on the floor.
The guy at PML tells me NO. I just want to make sure he is not 'smoking' me. :roll:
cheers.

Hahaha!! Even my mirrors are cranky sometimes too... sometimes I fold them up and then they cannot come down again... have to kill the engine, turn off all the electonics, wait half a minute, then turn on the car again then try the mirrors... all in the same boat lah... will test for you if the mirrors can fold while moving and let you know.
I had been { smoked } :furious: no wonder the pml guy was grinning when 'explaining' to me!
he told me because you have to put the mirror selector to the right for the auto kurb viewer to be activated, so there is no way you can adjust the angle of the auto tilting of the left mirror!
anyway, I had the problem of the mirror cannot be adjusted, but when i go to pml to rectify it, it actually start working there!!! strange thing...
intermittent problem??? :thinking: cross my finger

It surely can be adjusted when the car is moving but as for folding up and down, I havent tried it before. Even if it can, I would rather it be automatically deactivated when car moves off for safety issue. Imagine if you are on highway and you accidentally fold it up and wont return? :errr:

ok. tested.
at speeds any higher than simple rolling speed, the fold up function is deactivated. But the fold down function can be done at any speed. (which makes sense)
so, we continue to learn new things about our e46 even though it's outgoing soon. anyway, it makes you appreciate the little thoughts put into the overall design of the whole car.

I still have problem adjusting the tilt angle. If I engage "R" so that the left mirror's angle tilts and then while the car is in R gear and I attempt to use the toggle key to adjust that mirror there and then, my driver's side mirror is the one that get adjusted. Gana sai. Any bro here got any advise?
