mirrors don't close at the same angle

BayDriverSF · 04-07-2021, 02:07 PM

Does this happen to anyone else? I just noticed it today.

BayDriverSF · 04-07-2021, 02:21 PM

I guess this is common?

But is it common on the M5C? Or am I the only one?

It is designed this way on many BMW cars. Is your car black full leather?

Very common. Haven't had a BMW with mirrors closing symmetrically I think ever.

Yes. But the leather wouldn't affect the mirrors I would hope?

Curious here too... but if individual paint could effect the lane change assist, crazier things could happen.

Yeah. Good stuff. Someone happened to comment on this thread earlier today: https://f92.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1796148

Granted, based on the regulations and liability, I get why that could be the case. No clue what TimmyBHGM5 might be referring to here. Maybe he just likes your stitching.

I had never noticed until looking after this thread.

I’ll be damned. Haha.

No, it's not related, I just think the full leather is beautiful. The mirror angle is different when in normal position, that is due to driver being on one side of the car, so when they fold they have different angle too.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking!

Agreed, is it designed this way. The same with my 7-series!
