Unable to set wing mirror (tilt angle) in Reverse mode....

Hi,

I am driving a E46 Sedan (Feb 04) and I realise that I am unable to set the tilt angle when I engage reverse gear. The only time the wing mirrors tilt is when I set the adjustment switch to the driver side. However, the wing mirror then tilts all the way down which is not much use to me at all.

PML service fellow told me that some batches of E46s does not come with this feature.

IMO, if the wing mirror can tilt all the way down automatically, then the driver should be able to set the tilt angle too.. .I do have colleague with older version of E46 which can they can adjust the tilt angle but mine (being newer) can't. :(

Does any bros here have similar experience? Can share? Thanks.

Cheers!

Re: Unable to set wing mirror (tilt angle) in Reverse mode....

Used to have this problem and PML programmed it for me. In one position of the slider switch (can't remember which side) the mirror will tilt all the way down when reversing and when the slider switch is in the other position it will tilt to the programmed position. This was then all lost when I fitted Xenons and all programs was lost.

Now I just program it in the seat memory. Just press one of the seat buttons just before putting into reverse. Not an ideal solution but it works for the time being unitl I can get it reprogrammed.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing. Managed to get PML to fix the problem for me. I did not ask what was done as I was just glad that the problem was resolved. :cloud9:
