Problem w/ mirrors
New problem with mirrors: recently my mirrors have been acting strangely. My driver side mirror has a mind of its own, and I constantly have to adjust it.
I disabled the "convenience feature" to eliminate that as a possible reason. The driver's side mirror, when backing up, points down as it is supposed to, however it continues to try to point down past the point where it's supposed to stop. It begins to make grinding sounds like it's going to break.
Any advice or similar experiences?
Many thanks!

I also thought this was an additional issue (driver's side turning down), I've never seen that on my cars (it still exists on my Euro W221 and the older W211).

I followed the instructions in the manual on how to set up the conveniance feature for the passenger mirror and it just doesn;t work. I lowered the mirror and press M then the down button on the adjustment switch. The mirror does not move down when I press the down button which is supposed to mean it worked, but thwn I put it in reverse its a no go.
Any ideas?

I dont understand deutsch?
If your implying that I need to heed my own advice, I understand. I have searched and I know poeple have said that feature was discontinued but I just figured since there is 2 pages in the manual devoted to the pass mirror conveniance feature that maybe I would have it.
Thanks

To eliminate the problem I'm keeping the driver's side mirror as the selected button, not the passanger side.
This problem started randomly for no reason...

but I do have that function on the E320T CDI 2003 Sep.. is it something that you can get an update for?
