Folding in and out

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW Z4, 2006 BMW M3, 2006 BMW M Roadster, 2006 BMW M Coupe, and 2006 BMW 550i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The mirror bodies are folded in to the side window and pivoted upwards to reduce the width of the vehicle.

It is possible to fold the door mirrors when terminal R ON. Other conditions are: Door module active (no sleep mode), consumer shutdown not active.

It is not possible to fold the mirrors at speeds above 20 km/h.

Mirror folding is initiated by pressing a button in the switch block in the driver's door (for driver and front-passenger side). Pressing the button again after the mirror has folded in or out folds it back again in the opposite direction. An anti-repeat device has been integrated to prevent frequent folding of the mirrors (see SAFETY FUNCTIONS ).

If the mirror body has been disengaged from the mirror base by an external force, the next time the button is pressed, each mirror body is moved in the "fold in" direction. The motor of the disengaged mirror body is controlled by lock detection until the mirror body engages in the mirror base. It is then necessary to press the button once or twice for synchronization purposes (position of the mirror body and position of the mirror folding motor). The door mirrors are folded out again the next time the button is pressed.
