Misbehaving folding mirrors

Did I read somewhere on here that others have had issues with their folding mirrors?

When I got the car I was surprised to see the option deactivated on the idrive so I turned it on. I also turned on the beep on lock feature.

It always works when unlocking but when locking, sometimes the mirrors do not fold and it doesn’t always beep.

I then have to hold the lock button in on the key to fold the mirrors.

It’s a bit annoying - anyone found a fix?

Are you talking about the comfort access system (contactless) automatically locking the car and folding the mirrors when you leave the car?

If so... there are many reasons for the car not locking... from the manual....

I have just experienced the same problem over the past few days, mine were working fine prior to this but recently the checkbox keeps unchecking itself, we're having an ongoing battle

If I press the clock button and hold it on the key both the mirrors fold in no problem, and by then switch on the cabin. I've changed no settings, just started to uncheck itself about a week ago now?

I just posted a similar thread and found this so I'll delete mine.

If anyone has an answer or advice please can you let us know, this is a new issue for me only a week ago it started.

Thanks 😊

Glad it's not just me! It must be a bug in iDrive.

My car is going in next Friday to have ConnectedDrive fixed so I will get them to look at it and let you know the outcome.
