If it has one then it is right by the mirror adjuster on the switch panel on driver door.

It all depends on the person who ordered the car from new.
It would have been an extra like most things.
My car has the button but not that well specked i don't think but i was not the first buyer.

I have come across x5's that have had the piece with the switch replaced with one that hasn't got the switch because the electric mirrors didn't work. Easier to replace the switch than fix the mirrors cos punters who see a switch want to see the mirrors working.
