Hi guys

Does anyone know if I can get the mirrors on my X5 to fold when I lock the car?

At the moment I have to press the little button on drivers door near window switches to make this happen. There is no option to make this happen in the idrive system, so I'm guessing this might not be possible?

Thanks for any help

What year is the X5?

Try holding down your lock button for a couple of seconds when you lock it. Most newer BM's have full closure on the windows, and this sometimes applies to the mirrors as well.

Don't reverse this though when unlocking as your mirrors might unfold, but all of your windows will go down as well!

      218d 2017 ACTIVE TOURER CENTRE REAR TAILGATE BRAKE LIGHT

      Morning Steve I have never worked on a 2 series but would imagine like the X3 and X5 internal trims around the rear window have to come off for access or maybe like the X5 the spoiler top fixings can be accessed from outside I would check www.realoem.com to see how the trim parts are fitted

      Morning Paul You have one major answer, your Local Main Dealer is not a good one !! Have you talked to BMW UK Customer services ? Clearly either the Dealer doesn't have a clue or there is an issue they also don't understand ? Worse by telling you a road test would be dangerous are they saying the car is in a dangerous condition ? All questions I would put to BMW UK Good Luck Dave

      218d 2017 ACTIVE TOURER CENTRE REAR TAILGATE BRAKE LIGHT

      Hope you guys can help me with this troublesome query.. how the heck do you get direct access to this light, so you can remove it via it's 3 fixing screws? I've got the replacement light for the existing broken one, but I just don't know and can't find out what to remove to do this? Surely someone out there has done this? I live in hope.

      Collision Avoidance System

      Thank you for your response Dave, I have been to BMW Dealer but all they say computer indicates 'no faults' although I had frequent warnings saying system was restricted. They refuse to road test it saying it is dangerous to road test which I dispute as the system should give a visual warning at 8 car lengths and low speeds. I suggested to test it against another BMW with the same system but again they will not. If I have it on the most sensitive setting and get no warnings what is the point of the less sensitive settings. Lots of unanswered questions with this system?

      Engine running weird when hot

      Morning Billy You need a diagnostic session to narrow things down, at 161k I would also carry out a compression test and check fuel delivery and pressure. Your symptoms could be an accumulation of things or as simple as a dying throttle body diagnostics will help Dave
