The rearview mirror heating for the BMW 2014 525 model can be activated simply by turning on the automatic rain sensor switch. Below is an introduction to the BMW 2014 525 model: Exterior dimensions: The exterior length, width, and height dimensions of the 2014 525 series are 5047×1860×1491 (mm), with a wheelbase of 2888 mm. The new 5 Series is 66 mm longer than the previous generation. Powertrain configuration: The powertrain system of the BMW 5 Series has been further enhanced, equipped with a V8 engine from the 7 Series, delivering a maximum power of 245 kW/333 hp (6100 rpm) and a maximum torque of 450 Nm (3600 rpm). It has a top speed of 250 km/h and can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds.
As a BMW owner who has driven several models for years, I recall the rearview mirror heating button on the 2014 525Li was located on the driver's side door handle, right next to the window switches. That button featured a small snowflake or defogger icon – just one press activated the heating function, quickly clearing fog and moisture. The design is ergonomic, placing it within easy reach of your left hand so you never need to divert attention from driving. Why did BMW position it there? Firstly, for rapid response during rainy conditions, and secondly, to avoid cluttering the center console with controls. It's incredibly hassle-free, especially during southern China's monsoon seasons – one gentle tap and the mirrors become crystal clear. I've also noticed that if it stops working, it might be due to a blown fuse or a dirty button needing cleaning. Overall, this feature significantly enhances driving safety, and it's wise to have it checked during regular vehicle maintenance.
