Side Mirror folding differences.
I noticed a while back that my side mirrors fold at different angles.
The passenger side folds in more than the driver side. Is this normal? They both seem to be snapped in place folded. When I do it manually it is the same result. |

If you measure the arm that the mirrors sit on the passenger side is around 2cm longer which kind off makes sense as the mirror needs to sit out a little to see it unobstructed. I guess this also impacts the fold.

If you're new to BMW, side mirrors do not fold equidistant on late model BMWs. Not an issue, just think of it as a "standard feature"
Folding Mirrors don't fold back equally https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1695316
