Folding Mirrors
I admit it -- I must have messed a setting up but...
When I first bought the car, the mirrors folded in when I locked the car. Now... not so much. The setting under "central locking" is set to fold the mirrors, but it doesn't happen. On the door rotator switch, if I turn it to the "folded in" position, they don't fold in either.
I thought that the "central locking" check box should be checked. That's about it and if I wanted to manually fold them in, just rotate the door switch.
So... it's so simple right? What did I do wrong?
Arghhhh.....

Unfortunately I tried to click the lock button twice from the remote and they didn't move. I'm in my office but will check the settings one last time when I leave.
thanks for the quick response.

Ok - figured it out. My settings were all correct but if the door rotating switch is on the fold setting, nothing will happen automatically.
I set the rotator on the position between left and right, and locking the car folds the mirrors.

For the passenger side mirror to lower when backing up (for curb viewing) the selector must be in the passenger position. The folding mirrors upon locking still work with the switch in this position.

This new owner thanks you all for the info.
I configured the mirrors to fold, but they just sat there! Just figured out the car has to be locked for the mirrors to fold.
Honestly, this car is incredibly complicated.

The MMI menu is indeed not very intuitive, but you'll soon have everything setup the way you want ... then as quickly forget how you did it (at least I do!).

Does anyone know if it is possible to power fold both mirrors while you are driving, ie. gear in D.
I find it sometimes useful when squeezing into turning lanes or drive through at banks/fast food.
It also looks cool.
Thanks

Just turn the mirror position switch to the fold position (either bottom left or right, can't remember). It's next to the position that turns the heaters on. In California it's legal for motorcycles to go between cars stopped at a light to get to the front. I fold them whenever I hear one coming by between the lanes, because I'm scared one of them is going to hit my (probably $5000) side mirrors...
