Heated mirrors.

When do these activate? All the time or only when ambient temp drops to certain level

It use to be when the ambient temp drops to +37F/+3C or lower. The owners manual shows that the "Both exterior mirrors are automatically heated whenever drive-ready state is switched on". I'll pay more attention to see when it rains and I am driving if the mirrors dry off or if the water spray stays on it.

On most cars it's when you activate the heated rear window.. not sure on the G30 though..

Not on the BMW

It's automatic, as stated above.
