Where is the mirror folding switch for BMW cars?
2 Answers
The mirror folding switch for BMW cars is located on the main driver's side door console. The mirror folding switch can be manually turned on or off. When the switch is turned on, the mirrors will automatically fold when the car is locked. When the switch is turned off, the mirrors will not automatically fold when the car is locked. BMW's mirror folding function is very convenient. If the car needs to pass through a narrow road during driving, the mirrors can be folded using the folding switch. BMW is a German luxury car brand founded in 1916, headquartered in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Its vehicle series include the i, X, Z, and pure number 4 models, as well as the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 series, along with the M series, which are improved versions based on these series.
I've noticed that the rearview mirror folding switch in most BMW cars is located in the area of the driver's door armrest, where your hand can naturally reach while seated and driving. To be more specific, there's usually a small lever near the window control buttons with a rearview mirror icon (two small triangles) on it. To fold the mirrors, simply push this lever backward – it will automatically return to the center position when released. Most newer BMW models come with a convenient feature: you can set the mirrors to automatically fold when locking the car through the iDrive central control screen. This eliminates the need to manually operate the switch every time, which is especially helpful when you're carrying items or in a hurry to get out of the car on rainy days – it's super convenient and effortless.
