Hi everyone. 

Just bought my 1 Series 118 Sport which I love.😁

I thought the wing mirrors would fold automatically when holding down the lock key fob (2017 model) but this doesn't happen. Do I need to get it reprogrammed? Probably a daft question but I can't find a straight answer.

Morning Mitch

Welcome to the Forum

First has your car got "power fold mirrors" ?? Use one of the BMW Vin Decoders to check the build sheet. Or ask your Dealer 

If you have Powerfold Mirrors normally there is a Fold button in the car (mine is on the drivers window master control) Then it may be possible to enable Fold on Lock. You will either need the diagnostic program or pay the dealer/garage to do it.

Hope this helps

Dave

      Transfer Case

      Morning Darren The obvious one is BMW ISTA/INPA not the cheapest but by far the most comprehensive and gives Dealer level access. Require a little patience to master but well worth it (my opinion) Then there are systems by Autologic, iCarsoft, Bimmerlink and Foxwell, all work well but are not as comprehensive as ISTA/INPA (mine has WIS and TIS). There are also a few systems which are Subscription led such as Carly Personally if I have tools I want to own them not rent them so I prefer to buy the complete package (on an old laptop that lives in my garage I have Diagnostics programs for Volvo, Merc, VW, and BMW. Plus an Autologic scanner and a BMW iCarsoft scanner (I am a born tinkerer and a boy needs toys) One diagnostic session at a Dealer will probably cost close to £200 plus any remedial work they can recommend?? So owning your own which will allow adaptions, registration and reprogramming work to be carried out will save £££ in the long run. Good Luck Dave

      2024 X5 with Towing package using weight distribution hitch

      Just realized that I made a mistake. The last sentence should have been: " You would plug the trailer’s 7-pin into it, then the 7-pin coming out of the controller to X5."

      Besides, I could never understand why someone would sell you something but not set it up for you to use. BMW USA is not the most logical company to talk to, just like they would advise against using WDH but could not produce documentation to support it. Fortunately my dealer was helpful when I tried to figure out the break controller wiring. They even ordered a set of plugs for me although I eventually went with the Etrailer harness.

      This vehicle comes with a plug under the dash for break controller. I’ve attached a couple pictures my dealer sent me. All you need to do is to pop the panel under the dash open to see it. You don’t need any work in the back of the vehicle. The sway controller has a receptacle for a 7-pin. You would plug the trailer’s 7-pin into it, then the 7-pin coming out of the controller to the trailer.
