My Ride: 2004 545i, Nav, Logic 7, sport pkg, premium pkg, sport seats, Hoen fogs, rear LED tail lights, super white license bulbs, heated front and rear seats, M-tech front and rear bumper covers, M5 trunks spoiler and finisher. Desiring euro xenon headlights.

I know for a fact that there is a control module needed for the passengers side mirror to fold up as well. If you remove the passengers door panel, you will see a black box with wire harnesses attached to it. The one you need is the one for the M5 (which has folding mirrors). I learned that with my old E39 when I purchased M5 styled mirrors. I had to change the drivers door switch (which had the extra button to activate the fold feature) and the left-side passengers door module (which communicates with the drivers door switch), and dealer programming was necessary.

My friend I had a lot of same problems. And I do next. I replace complet electrical circuit with wires and motors from old standard mirrors to an new M5 mirrors. I get and outside M5 look and reduce the electrical problem very simple way. All you need is a little patience and good screwdriver.
