Where is the button for the BMW center rearview mirror located?
3 Answers
BMW center rearview mirror button is located on the driver's side door panel, above the four-door window control buttons. Owners can adjust it according to their needs. Functions of the car's center rearview mirror: 1. Observe rear traffic conditions: For example, when changing lanes, turn on the turn signal in advance. Check the actual situation of rear vehicles through the left/right mirrors and center rearview mirror before changing lanes, which helps eliminate blind spots and enhances driving safety. 2. Monitor rear passengers: If children are seated in the back, the mirror allows supervision without turning around, preventing accidents. 3. Judge following distance: The mirror helps estimate the space between your car and the vehicle behind, maintaining sufficient distance to avoid rear-end collisions - especially when followed by large trucks.
I've been driving a BMW for five years, and the central rearview mirror button is located at the bottom right of the mirror. Upon closer inspection, it's a small square button that can easily toggle the anti-glare function with a light touch of your finger. It's especially useful when driving at night and encountering blinding headlights from behind, much more convenient than manually flipping the rearview mirror. The newer models even come with an automatic anti-glare version, where the button is more discreetly designed, but the principle remains the same—both reduce glare by altering the mirror's reflection angle. If you're constantly bothered by high beams while driving, this feature is definitely worth making good use of.
When I first started driving a BMW, it took me a while to find it. Later, I looked up from the driver's seat and noticed a small, inconspicuous bump on the back of the rearview mirror near the windshield, slightly larger than a grain of rice. You need to slide your index finger under the mirror to reach it—push it to activate the anti-glare function and pull it back to deactivate. I remember one time when my friend's xenon headlights were blinding me, and I suddenly remembered this feature. Pressing it immediately made the whole view much more comfortable. Some owners might even mistake it for a dashcam button.
