BMW i3 Wing Mirrors - Auto Mirror Fold on Locking

A quick video to show how you can close the wing mirrors via the key when locking your BMW i3. This makes for a good visual reminder that the car is locked.

We're a couple of petrolheads who now drive an Electric Car or EV as our family car. We're surprised to say how converted we are to electric cars and actually enjoy driving them too!

So we have set up this channel to show that the future of being a car guy, petrolhead, gearhead, driver or whatever your term of choice, is still a good one! In many ways its even better!

We would love to help anyone who is tempted by an EV, so please get in touch:

We also encourage everyone to look into renewable energy. Our home and car are powered by Octopus Energy. You can get a £50 credit if you use our referral link. We get the same so its a win win.

Thanks for watching,

Kate and Andy

Just got an i3 yesterday and was just about to look into this and saw your video. Perfect.

You title reads "auto", but your video shows "manual". I wish my i3 behaved like your old fiesta in this regard. Is this something bimmercode can do?

Ha, nice one thanks. Had my i3s a week only so this is a nice tip. 👍

Your trick will also close the windows - handy in summer, no need to close them before leaving the car. To add to this, if you hold down unlock, it will drop the windows.

I accidentally found out my mirrors fold up and did not know why. Now I know how but it does not unfold immediately when u drive. How to unfold immediately?
