does anyone know if the dealer can program the side mirrors on a 2000 E46 to turn down when shifting into reverse?....i have a manual shift...if that matters
This feature is included in the Premium Package for the E46 325ci and is standard for the E46 330ci. I'm pretty sure this applies to the E46 323ci and the E46 328ci. However, only the passenger side mirror will tilt down since it's the side mirror that you'll be using during parking. The option applies to manual and automatic transmission cars.
Just make sure your mirror selector on your door is switched to the "right" mirror, then that tells the mirror to tilt.... if the left is selected, it will not tilt.... auto or man, no diff...

Good call! I know some people who's cars have that feature but they didn't know they had to have the switch selected on the "right" mirror.
Now that I think of it...why don't all cars' side-view mirrors tilt downward in reverse? I find that every time I parallel park my G35C, I absolutely have to tilt the right mirror down at the curb so I can see just how close I am to the curb!!
sosinsur, if your car doesnt' have that feature and/or your dealership can't setup that feature for you, just have a passenger get out and direct you...that's what I do! [fake]

Hahaha! No worries, our ML500 has it and I didn't know about it until I watched the introductory video that they give you with the car...good thing I didn't wait too long to watch it!

I watched the video. It's not model specific. It goes over ALL the options. Plus, it's so boring, I had to watch it twice cuz I feel asleep towards the end of it.
