Passenger side mirror camera misaligned / tilted?
Has anyone seen anything like this before, I don't know if this is just software issue or hardware issue?

I had very similar, mine gone ( fixed ) itself after 2 weeks.
If your does not fix itself probably mounting inside wing mirror is loose.

Yup, my X5 is fine but this happened on my 3 series. I brought the car to the dealer to fix but they haven't been able to realign properly so I just gave up on it.

Search for many discussions on this issue on the forum right from the start of the G05 deployments.
In summary, it seems that mechanical misalignment is NOT possible or at least not mechanically alignable. The cameras have an electronic alignment or possibly self-alignment procedure and while it seems dealers can trigger that, most of the time it was triggered upon and as a side-effect of a software update. Hence why we normally hear "took it to dealer, they updated software, now fixed" but note that this statement has never been correlated to any particular software version — so it's the update act, not the actual software version, that seems to fix. To be sure, we also hear "dealer updated software and it's still misaligned" regularly too.

Thanks Lexx, I found one of those threads and posted there already, mods should feel free to merge it with that thread. I was hoping it would fix itself, will drive around a bit to see but I wish this was something that we could fix with iDrive, with an option to force re-calibrate. I am not sure if it affects any of the safety features but so far I am not that impressed with lane keep assist.
