    mirror tilt when backing in reverse

    The passenger side mirror would always tilt down when backing in reverse and now it doesn't. Any ideas? 2001 330ci

    Move the mirror switch to the drivers side and it should tilt again.

    Don't feel bad - I asked about how to DISABLE this annoying feature some time ago. Call me old fashioned but if you need an aid to go in reverse, you should stick to the bus. And well, all that excessive wear and tear on the mirror is easily avoided - TURN YOUR HEAD, LOOK BEHIND YOU.

    I know exactly how you feel....it always annoyed me, but i moved recently and the damn thing actually helped me miss the curb when backing into my spot.

    It's not that we don't know how to park,
    it serves as a 100% guaranteed rim protection feature for me!

    I hate that feature.... I have never dinged up any rim in reverse... only driving forward!
