F30 Spec question

[tjlees]

The f34 BMW 3 series loaner I've been given has the mirror tilt to kerb on reverse feature but no electric seats - only folding/dimming wing mirrors option - is this now a standard feature on f30/34?

Cheers

Couldn't find on the spec sheet nor brochure - well that another £300 I need to spend then

If it were me, I'd spend £30 more and get a reversing camera. Never really liked the tilting mirrors.

Good point - the loaner has got the reversing camera - like the fact it shows red line for max turning and the green based on the steering lock you have got. Not that great on my early morning starts with the dew though - can't see jack st out the back.

Also like the auto dimming and folding on holding the lock button down - cool.

For another £215 (£545 total) you can have the parking package

Or step away from the options list... You people have already taken me from a 320d se to fire breathing 335d with bells. The last thing I need is more trinkets on it.

... Good news and bad.

The spec is locked down so production date is set so no changes to the spec

^^^^ correct.

Which is why I queried it when the f34 loaner only had auto dimming and folding mirrors and no electric seats, but tilt to the kerb wing mirrors on reverse - so I'm assuming the 430 option comes with the £300 mirrors.

I have a 328i M Sport with electric folding mirrors but no electric seats. The tilting passenger mirror is activated by moving the mirror changeover switch (which controls which mirror you adjust). In the driver side position, the mirror dips on selecting reverse, in the passenger side position, the mirror doesn't dip.

This is all covered in the user manual, perhaps people should read these?

I did read this in the manual and it implied you just needed electrics mirrors, but the sales brochure says its part of the electric seat option and when I tried it on a f30 without folding mirrors it of course did not work.

It looks like it's the 430 option which seems to come with the folding mirrors.
