If theyer power theres a button by the adjuster button.

i_love_cars said:

as Michael said there would be a button by your power window switches, but if you push it, the car will only fold the mirrors below 10 mph. As far as the key fob, 1ers didn't come with that and needs to be specially coded.

My 1er does not have this. I don't think I have Premium Package... so maybe it's included in there.

I'm too scared to manually fold them. Accidentally find out that they aren't foldable and I break the fricken thing off.

I attempted to fold my nissans mirror and it fell off.. new level of foldage..?

That's an optional "extended storage package" (they can be stored separately then). Commonly referred to at dealers as the "Earl Special".

Whats with those terrible wheel offsets. You seem to have a case of the sunken wheel.

[SubmuzikBoss]

[Bobdudeman1988]

He likes his paint in the wheel wells intact mike lol

Jk

[i_love_cars]

wow. those offsets really are terrible.

[michael1972]

Yep

[Dominic540]

Outdoor storage mode with properly folded mirrors. And major wheel gap in the front due to no engine

[rampelsauce]

Dom, what's up with your engine?  Chains explode?

[Dominic540]

Nah, needed head gaskets and I got carried away. I'll do a build thread soon hopefully, just haven't gotten around to it.

Well, my beater is sounding like it's about to die. I'm biting the bullet and getting snow tires put on my 1er tomorrow. So I guess I wont' have to miss driving it anymore, lol. 

My vmr 710s are worn a bit anyway (some peeling clearcoat) so they will make good winter wheels. 

Gives me a good excuse to buy a new shiny set of APEX EC-7 for the track/summer. Now I will have to debate though between black or anthracite finish

It's a curse... they need attention.

I love driving my 1er in the winter.

[Bobdudeman1988]

[jc43089]

yeah i feel kinda bad about driving it but at the same time....i love that car too much. 

I talked to dastuz about it and he had the following wisdom to impart via prodding me with logical questions:

1. are you gonna drive it like a huge tool and spin out? No.

2. Do you think the car will become collectible i.e. you want low mileage? No.

3. Will you reasonably keep the car clean and wash it every week? Yes.

4. Will you just collect insurance and buy another BMW if someone plows into you and totals the shit out of it? Yes.

Ok then. I guess we're driving a 1er in winter.

These were the exact same questions I asked myself... and the exact same answers.

Well... I do drive like a huge tool, but only when appropriate.
