BMW M4 F83 folding side mirrors

Hi everyone,

How do I get the side mirrors to fold when I lock the car, they don’t seem to be working on my BMW M4 F83

It has to be coded in on the F series cars. Use Bimmercode or get a coder to do it for you

Evening, apparently F83 = can’t. I was told it’s related to the wiring loom(s) for the roof and as such they had to sacrifice something.

Thou I have heard people say you can fit a third party module of which will then allow you to do it.

You’re right, on the F83 you can’t

i coded mines with bimmercode and it works for me, I disabled it though. Folded mirrors on these cars don't make much of a difference to how much they stick out, and I prefer look at the car with them in the unfolded position

I have a F83 and coded mine using BimmerCode. Works fine.

Works fine for me, too but I have to keep pressing the BMW logo on my key for them to fold (1 quick push is not enough).

You can generally code the duration of the press too.

I think I have mine set to 0.5 seconds so that I can give the comfort access a very quick tap to leave them folded out, but a normal tap is enough to fold them in.
