Better to pay when it's cheaper. I did get 4 years 50k miles free, now I'm in extended period which I could cancel for partial refund but that would cost me more unless I sell the car today.

My F30 was coded to do this on lock and lasted the 8 years I owned it without issue or drama.

Dealer will fix.

Anyone else experienced this yet? Booked in to the dealer for Monday.
Hi, I have a 330i with the exact same issue. Did the dealer diagnose the fault for you yet? Can you let me know how you got on?

I've been told there's corrosion (5 months old, 6100 miles) and a new part is on order.

Mine was fixed by replacing the 'corroded part'. Not an impressive start but hopefully we've just been unlucky and aside from being without it for a week, it was fixed without hassle.

My G20 is currently with BMW for the second time, mirrors wouldn’t fold out and no electric windows or manual fold on mirrors work on drivers panel, they fitted a new comms unit and after a week gone wrong again, known fault apparently

My G20 is with BMW for the second time in a week, both mirrors are locked folded and windows don’t work from drivers panel, they fitted a new comms unit but same thing happened in a week, they are saying it’s an issue with a wiring loom, had a number of issues but won’t do a recall as no fix yet, even though I turned off folding on I drive they still folded in locked, had my F30 coded for 3 years and never had an issue, I like the feature to auto fold and want to use the option,

I just turned this on yesterday on my car. Its nice because most cars don't have this..I love how they fold when I lock up.

I also like the noise a BMW makes when you lock..better than any Audi, Merc, Jag, Lexus, or Infiniti.

Nobody touches BMW lol

Got mine fixed today. Initially the passenger mirror wouldn't fold in and intermittently worked. Last Monday when I went to drive it the drivers side window/mirror switch was totally dead and the drivers mirror wouldn't work. Today the passenger mirror assembly was replaced and all is working again.

If the temp on front or rear passenger is adjusted it automatically unsyncs so it should be easier to sync back. Can this be programmed to the number button to turn back on sync?
You can save sync to one of the numbered buttons. You can also ask the assistant to do it.

Today the driver side mirror didn't fold when locking the car. Surprisingly, when I returned to the car, after about 2 hours, I found it folded all right. Now it seems to be working just fine, as if nothing happened.
One time glitch or first symptoms of impending failure?

And more important question - if the mirror fails in folded position is it possible to unfold it manually and do not break anything? I'm thinking of disabling the auto-fold feature to avoid being stuck in some remote location with the folded mirrors, as it is unsafe to drive with.

Update - mirror failed, scheduled visit for replacement. According to my dealer a very common issue (suprise suprise) Worth noting is that the new mirror unit has a different part number than the failed one. Dealer said that is because it's an updated version (?). No planned recall anyway, just case-by-case approach. I may expect that the other mirror may fail anytime but they cannot do anything until it actually happens.

Yes, the same happened to me. I also have the auto fold feature enabled. This weekend when I unlocked the car, to my surprise the driver door electronic went out (no lock/unlock, windows, mirror unfold, etc) and the side mirrors did not unfold. After several minutes of driving the electronics inexplicably worked again. I'm seeing service to have it address. Might be sign of a bigger issue. Totally dangerous to boot.
