I think the first company to come out with it was BMW, we had it on our 1995 750iL.
maybe a fuse blew to that function, can you adjust the mirror at all?

You are correct (I believe). I first noticed it on my Grannies '91 750il
Coolest thing I'd seen at the time...now it seems common...oh well

. . . does it happen when it gets to hot like the auto-down button? NO probs here!

Prob. the switch, move it ever so slightly right to left @ center and hit "reverse" and see it if the mirror dips. The contacts could be worn. Check the fuse and then put a volt meter on the switch in the door and see if your getting power. Same with the line to the mirror. Thats a start!
