New BMW X1 E84 New Oner with some questions>>>>

[Red Leader]

Happy Bank Holiday Monday all,

New member and recently bought a 2014 XDrive 25d and absolutely loving the car, its in a dark grey, I think its the E84 Engine?  I do have a couple of questions if anyone could help....

Can I programme the mirrors to fold in when I lock the door?  I cant seem to find it in IDrive?

Due to the colour I and the potential for scratches I would like to fit those clear protectors behind the door handles and also fit a protector along the rear bumper for when things are being loaded, possibly a black in colour,  has anyone got any pics of theirs already done as well as any links to purchase please?

I need to source a piece of trim for the drivers door, any good suppliers? 

Thanks in advance

Hi Steve

Mirrors I take it you have power fold mirrors ? Have you tried pressing the lock button on your fob and holding it down, the reverse when unlocking press and hold the unlock button ?

Never seen any clear protectors I guess you have tried an Internet search for after market stuff ?

Last the load area protector on my wife's Subaru estate we have a boot liner which has a fold out protector, another internet session I think

Good luck and Enjoy your Beemer

Thanks Greydog, Ill take a look online, quite like the idea of a fold out protector.

By the way, tried the lock button but it doesn't work, they only fold in and out from the switch on the drivers door.

Cheers

Then you may need the help of someone with BMW capable diagnostics to enable the closing function through the FRM (footwell control module)

A good Independent Garage or BMW Specialist or perhaps a member near you who has the right diagnostic kit
