BMW 6GT: A few irritating niggles noticed after 95,000 km of ownership

I noticed that after locking the side view mirrors aren't closing. Upon checking I noticed that only the right side mirror is not closing/opening while locking/unlocking the car.

Another update of another thing going kaput in the car.

Last week after returning from about 200 kms drive, I noticed that after locking the side view mirrors aren't closing. Upon checking I noticed that only the right side mirror is not closing/opening while locking/unlocking the car.

The next day I noticed that when I used the remote parking feature - both the mirrors closed while reversing (as they should), but this only happened twice when I was checking the mirrors.
Since then the right side view mirror is not folding when I lock the car.

Last month I realised that the car's bluetooth system just wouldn't start. (there is a setting which can be toggled on and off, which I only noticed when I couldn't connect my phone to the car) Tried resetting everything, switching of the media system and what not - and then gave up. After the car was parked for about half an hour or so - when I was ready to leave again - surprisingly all started working again! Never experienced this ever in any other car!! Only fly in the ointment now is that the bass seems a bit too low and at times the music volume is too low as well. Also - at time the car switches the music to individual mode instead of theatre, which takes some time to figure out - why I am not able to listen to anything in the car. I think something is playing with the multimedia system.

Other than this - I am absolutely happy with the car with about 95k under its belt.
