An adjustable mirror (1) is provided with a mirror housing (1′) and a mirror foot (1″), coupled via a pivot (5) and a motor mirror adjustment device. The motor mirror adjustment device is provided with a housing (3) which includes a bearing part (3′); an electric motor (4); and a gear transmission for transmitting rotation of the electric motor to the pivot. The gear transmission is supported against the bearing part and includes drive elements such as gears and/or worms (6′) and/or worm gears (6), and an output gear (8) which is connected to the pivot. The gear transmission is provided with a resilient element (10) between one of the drive elements and the bearing part, or between the drive elements mutually, and is designed to generate a bias between the one of the drive elements and the bearing part.
