Heated side mirrors

The X Men · 05-24-2012, 01:43 PM

Can anyone educate me on how the heated side mirror work. What little info I can find on the internet indicates that the heated side mirror turns on automatically when the outside temp is below a certain temp. If I turn on my rear deforster, the heated side mirrors turns on in despite of the outside temp. Do I have that right? Thanks

I think they are always heated. Even in the summer.

One would think BMW pushing the efficient dynamic theme would not have the heated mirror on all the time.

Agreed, seems like a waste and I always wondered about that.

doesn't it just go on when you switch on the rear demister?
