Re: vertical line on side mirror
Initially BENG thought that line was some permanent marker lines so tried to rubbed it off with glass-cleaner...kekekeke. Yeah doesnt look like wide angle mirror leah, more like just distinguishing which cars are in further out lanes.

Re: vertical line on side mirror
Sometimes when I am doing a parallel parking, the side mirror will tilt down while othertimes it does not - i read in the manual that there is a auto tilt to see curb...whtat triggers this as sometimes it tilts while other times it doesnot

Re: vertical line on side mirror
Hi murphys33, you'll need to switch the side mirror adjustment switch to the "Left" to enable the tilt function. When it didn't tilt in the past, it was probably switched to the "Right" position. rgds

Re: vertical line on side mirror
Switching to the LEFT disable the tilt function.
Switching to the RIGHT enables the tilt function.
I normally disable it because i prefer to see where my bumper is heading then to see where is the curb.
End of OT.
Back to the lines, i also thought it is to aid judging the positions of the vehicles around/behind your car. At least that is how i used it.

Re: vertical line on side mirror
The passenger mirror tilt is dependant on the model also.
For E46
1) when your switch is on the left (passenger), the passenger side will tilt down according to your preset.
2) when your switch is on the right (driver), the driver side mirror will tilt down according to your preset.
*preset is when you put into reverse and you manually adjust the tilt to your desired angle, even upwards.
For E90
1) when your switch is on the left (passenger), mirror tilting is DISABLED
2) when your switch is on the right, passenger left mirror tilts down.
And I rechecked, the vertical line, the mirror is convex - thus wide-angled. Please check again. kekeke
