The first two things are not fixable. The rear view mirror will fail to return if it is not given enough time to angle all the way down. It's a firmware glitch and there is no known cure, although that problem doesn't exist in my M3.

The nav system often changes scale on its own. I could never figure out why. It might be something that's fixed with the latest v.26 Nav operating system software, so ask the dealer to reflash it.

A BMW is designed to be heard, felt, experienced. So our engines sing. Our steering talks back. And we insist on offering manual transmissions in nearly all our models for drivers who crave them. The result is an almost telepathic oneness with the car. Just as surely as you can hear a BMW, a BMW hears you." Last edited by Need4Spd; 23rd January 2006 at 05:43.
