Drivers side mirror does not fold in as far as the passenger side mirror.

Anyone else notice when you set your mirrors to fold in when locking the doors, the driver side does not fold in quite as far as the passenger side? Picked up the car March 16th and taking it in Monday because the SOS button does not call out from the overhead button or from Idrive so I was going to have them look at the mirror as well.

Yes, it has been noticed: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1603226 Nothing that a small sledge hammer wouldn't fix.

Just trying to find out if it’s by design. I will check out the loaner tomorrow if the dealer says it’s normal.

I think this is by design. I have a 2020 X7 40i and I just measured my mirrors and came up with roughly the same measurements the OP posted. 5" on the driver's side and 3" on the passenger side.

I haven't heard a good (or any) reason for this side to side mismatch and I can't think of one myself, but it is definitely by design since every G05 X5 is identical in this respect so far (unlike the wrinkles :-P).

Lol got lucky on the wrinkles, very slight in some spots!

Yes, been wondering that too. Is it left vs right side or driver vs passenger side? Might help to decide the intent behind the asymmetry.

OK I verified the mirror position is normal. My loaner and the X5 on the showroom floor had the exact same mirror position as my X5.

I just checked my G06, and it's the same: 5" on the driver's side and 3" on the opposite.

It's not just the X5, pretty much all late model BMWs have asymmetrical folding side mirrors.
