Have there been any issues you've had with BimmerCode in particular?
It's one of a few recommended by bimmercode for android, and it comes with its own generic diagnostic & dash software / phone app that I also use on other vehicles, so it is pretty multipurpose.

No issues with bimmercode, nice fast reading and writing, foolproof setup, leds to show link-up and read/write etc...
I just noticed it's for Android. I use an iPhone. I'll see what else is available for Apple

It's being touted as a "feature" in some US spec BMWs now..

I guess the US M2C has not earn the privilege of this hidden feature..

Funny, the first time I saw auto-folding mirrors was in a 1996 JDM spec Integra Type R.

All vehicles in Japan have auto-folding mirrors because there very limited parking spaces over there, so cars park closer to each other in public spaces.
Great way to stress the motor...

Is it that hard to manually press a button to fold the mirrors when you need to (tight parking ******* leave alone when it's (not needed)

If I code it to fold every time I lock the car I'm sure it'll break faster

Not an issue if your planing on keeping it for just a few years

IMO, just leave it alone PRESS a button when needed

Bimmercode auto fold mirrors

Has anybody been able to get the auto fold mirrors coding to work? I am using bimmercode on a Canadian car. I coded it as this but no go. Other coding worked ok (like turn off idrive on door open).

There's a comfort close time delay setting somewhere, standard 2.5 secs, try holding lock button on your fob or touching door handle for longer than that, the mirrors should fold.

I reduced time to 0.5 secs as I prefer the choice to fold or not, but if you want you can set to zero so they will always fold.

Turns out it was this setting which was set to not active. I switched it to active as well as removed the start delay:

Bumping this thread up to ask - can anyone with US Spec confirm if we even have a button to fold the mirrors?

Coding the mirrors to fold/unfold via the key fob is great, but if we don't even have the motors in the mirrors for it to fold, it's a moot point.

Yeah, it's there (at least it is on my 2019). Same button shown near top of this thread. Unmarked, square button below and to the left of the mirror adjust toggle

It’s been a few years since I’ve owned a modern Bimmer (last one was an e90). Does the passenger side mirror still point down when put in reverse?

Yes, provided the L/R switch is in the left position. Works just like the e90.

You can, however, adjust the % of tilt in bimmercode, if that sort of thing appeals to you.

The bimmercode was worth the price of entry just based on disabling the god awful ASD.

The folding mirrors and streaming video to the infotainment screen was added bonus. I also have the puddle lights go on when in reverse so at night you can see the curb when your mirror tilts down (still learning M2 fatass hips in space time).
