unequal folding side mirrors?

tranquility · 05-11-2011, 12:51 PM

I found out that my driver's side mirror doesn't fold in as much as my passenger's: is it supposed to be like that?

I guess it is cause mine doesnt fold equally on both sides as well.

I wonder why is that...not sure if they are the same size either. Maybe to 'equalize' the perspective since the passenger side is obviously further away? No idea...

Dont have any idea :/ At first i thought that the mirror was damaged in transport or something but then i checked it and i t was pretty solid.

Same thing with my E83 X Three. Not sure why this is but I checked with the dealer when I first noticed it and he confirmed they were all that way. It is pretty subtle but once you notice it, I thought the same thing others here listed at first.

I noticed that after I collected my car last year. It is because the driver mirror is more outwards than the passenger one. When both mirrors are folded, passenger mirror is closer than the car. It is normal. I also checked other E89 in the showroom.
