Since i got my car when i put in reverse the passenger mirror tilts down but wonder why the drivers side doesn't ?

Any ideas ?

 

Proally cuz you can easily see out the window on the drivers side..

but you reminded me of another questions I had..

on the memory seats, do all the mirrors move into place as well?? Including the Rear View one??

 

Because you typically parallel park on the right side of the street. No sense making the left side tilt. Plus you still need to be able to see traffic on the left side as you are backing in.

 

There's always exceptions... like a one way street.

 

The rearview doesnt have any motors in it to move on its own, that still needs to be manually adjusted.

For the rims, the CL-S rims are 17 x7 TL-S are 17x6.5. The design was changed a bit and supposedly it was supposed to help the road rash problem too, but I have seen TL-S' with some seriously scraped rims. Be careful out there.

 

I have to manually tilt whatever wheel is close to the curb, whether its drivers side or passenger. Can't take any chances!

 

Are we talking about 02 TL's side mirror??? Do they tilt down when shift to reverse??? I know BMW does that... I didn't know 02 TL's have tilt down side mirror...
R E A L L Y ?

 

Yes 02 TL's have an auto-tilting passenger side mirror on reverse (only when your mirror adjustment switch is in the center position though )

And yes, the memory seat buttons also remember the mirror settings.

 

when I park beside the curb I usually end up leaving about a foot of space....primarily because I suck at curbside parking and I'm too lazy to fix it.:p

 

I do the same, but more because I have aboout $1750 worth or rim and tire on one side just dying to lick a curb.
