Side view mirror is squeaky!
When I approach or move away from the car and the side view mirror is coming in or out, it sounds like an old door in a haunted house. Anyone else have this? I’d be happy to grease it but I don’t even know where to apply it.
Right now it’s just the drivers side. Thanks! |

That's a warranty issue. Take it to the dealer so you don't have to worry about it too much.

Same issue after the sensor on the passenger side mirror got replaced at the dealership.

Same issue, but I took it to the dealership and they fixed it. So far it has not resurfaced….

Just noticed this today for the first time as the weather is getting warmer.
I assume others got this fixed at their dealers like digriz ? |

It's possible that when I asked the dealership to fix it, they just lubricated the joint, and now it seems like a more permanent solution is needed... |

+1 I have this issue on the drivers side. Seems the plastic rubs and squeaks. Looks to me like BMW tried to make the gap too small and the outer plastics that are not supposed to touch rub on each other.
Has anyone found a lubricant that works well and will not damage the plastic / paint? I was thinking of trying a silicone spray. As others have said, sure i can warranty this but I'm guessing they'll just lube it and give it back. I don't mind doing the lube job myself if I knew what kind to use. |

You'll have to have some sort of iDrive issue in order for them to give you the software update and get paid for it as a warranty service. So, maybe you're having some intermittent Car Play issues or something like that...

I brought my car to the dealer for this issue and the knocking HVAC sound (see other thread). This is what I was told:
1. There is a service bulletin for this issue. 2. BMW recommends the technicians first lubricate the mirror to see if that resolves the issue. 3. If not, the customer should bring the car back and BMW will replace the entire mirror assembly. |

I noticed a scratch on mine. I wonder if someone knocked against it.
