Default Passenger side door mirror auto tilt on reverse
My mirror has a mind of its own.
Sometimes it drops a little, sometimes not at all, and sometimes all the way.
Then it is about a one in 3 call as to what it will do when I put the car in drive.
Anyone else have this issue?

I did when I first got my X350. I got fed up with manually resetting it so turned the feature off using a WDS.

I think I read somewhere that someone took theirs apart and gave the innards a good clean and lube and that fixed it.

I think you can turn it off in the vehicle menu settings if you have a touchscreen nav.

On my car you can only control the auto fold from the touch screen menu, not the auto tilt.

Our X5 has this feature, and I hate it. I am sure many accidents have happened because you can't see anything as you back up! BMW lets you turn it off using the mirror control switches, at least.
