I snapped this picture quickly on Saturday afternoon - the car was sitting right outside the front door to my building... 30 day tags, brand new but has nice window tint. I never knew the mirrors folded skyward like that... pretty cool. Does the regular E63 do that in the US, or just the M6?


Does this car belong to anyone here???

Doesn't that just expose the mirrors to the elements more then having them down? What is the purpose of them going up? Just to keep them from catching on things?

If the streets are that narrow that you need your mirrors folded up, how could you ever even think of parking a car like that there. I would rather have the mirrors scratched than the fenders. The mirrors would act sort of like a curb feeler for other cars. In fact they should have mirrors that extend further to act as a sheild against other cars IMHO.

its all (well most side streets) that are very narrow, i usually see them parked half on the side walk and half on the street, seemed to be the norm...the roads were built way before cars!!!!! all cars have this option on europe!
