mirror folding/locking during car wash
Ok, i still haven't figured this one out. WHen i'm washing the car, with the fob in my pocket, somehow, for SOME reason, the car locks itself, and then folds the mirror! I have not figured out how/why it does that, is it because of the water touching some sensor? I know theres not really an option to fold the mirror during lock, but mine does it during a car wash! WTF! How is that possible, its happened a couple of times, i have NO idea how that happens, any ideas?

And yes...the mirrors can be coded to fold when the CA door locking is initiated. Are you the original owner or does the car have POs (previous owners). If it does, then perhaps you have some coding that you aren't aware of. Have you tried keeping the LOCK button pressed to see if it will roll up the windows, close the sunroof and fold the mirrors? Quick google search comes up with these:

If you keep the fob inside the car when washing it wont happen anymore. Also try holding down the locking button on your keyfob or hold your finger down on the comfort access locking sensor for 2 seconds, it should start rolling up your windows and folding your mirrors and that would mean that most likely your car was coded or somehow came with those options enabled from the factory.

BMW fixed the issue a long time ago. Not only that, but you can get into your car through your phone now via the BMW app so there is zero danger of leaving the fob inside the car when washing it. Embrace technology
