    Lowering Springs

    Auto dipping passenger mirror

    My previous m135i used to auto dip the passenger wing mirror when reversing and put it back to normal once back in a forward gear.

    oil leak from 'transfer box area'

    The transfer box takes the drive from the gearbox at the front and sends it to the rear via propshaft that runs down the middle of the car. It's not the gearbox and not the haldex unit.
