NCSExpert: mirror memory & curb tilting in reverse

Hello guys, long time no talk, but nonetheless still check in once in a while.

I wanted to see if any of you guys could help me figure something out.

We have 2003 Z4 and 2004 X3. The X3 has two functions that Z4 doesn't. One is the mirror position that is memorized along with the seat position: once you select a seat memory, not only it rearrange the seat but also the outside mirrors position. The other function is the passenger mirror tilting when you put the car in reverse: this allows you to stop the curb and avoid scratching rims.

I've been successfully using several BMW coding and diagnostics tools, from DIS to Progman to NCSExpert and have developed a bit of experience there: nonetheless I can't figure this one out.

Using NCSExpert I've narrowed down the two modules controlling the behavior I'm after to two: the all-purpose GM module and the SM module (specific for the seat memory). Both of these modules are the on the X3 and the Z4: the GM5.C04 and SM_E46.C01.

However I can't identify which function controls the two behaviors I'm after and I'm not ready to raise white flag yet.

For the GM5.C04 I took the trace file of the X3 and compared it to the trace file of the Z4 using NCSDummy and found these differences:

As you can see I don't have information on some functions.

I was wondering if some of you guys might be able to help.

Do anyone has a pre-facelift Z4 with the mirror linked to the seat and/or the curb mirror tilting? Next step would be to ask which GM and SM modules you have and if you can dump the tracefile and share them so I can see if I can identify the functions.

Well, of course if anyone has already identified this would be even better.
