Congratulations, I'm sure you have bought a great Z4.
Even if it doesn't have power-fold mirrors!

So, the mirrors do actually fold. I was scared to break them but it just needed a bit of a welly. Problem averted

You'd be better using the button on the drivers door arm rest to fold the mirrors rather than doing it manually - if desired this function can also be coded so they fold automatically when you lock the car from the fob2011Z4Newbie wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 12:54 amSo, the mirrors do actually fold.

So turns out they do actually have a button, after 8 hours of driving yesterday I was a bit zonked and somehow just forced them closed. Luckily not broken lol!enuff_zed wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 11:29 amI think he means they don't have the button so can only be done manually?Gwest44 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 11:25 amYou'd be better using the button on the drivers door arm rest to fold the mirrors rather than doing it manually - if desired this function can also be coded so they fold automatically when you lock the car from the fob2011Z4Newbie wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 12:54 am

I drove my first E89 for a few weeks before I found the button that drops all 4 windows simultaneously.2011Z4Newbie wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 11:53 amSo turns out they do actually have a button, after 8 hours of driving yesterday I was a bit zonked and somehow just forced them closed.

My second E89 had the storage compartment package like yours but it took me over a month to discover the compartment under the dash that drops down near my right knee

I told you it did! Lucky you didn't break them.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I wish my Z4 had them, I find them really handy in car parks or parking on the street in my 330i.
