Can't see the logic why "full-auto" folding mirrors are not allowed in US. I like the idea to have the mirrors fold on lock and unfold when you start the engine.
Cause, the other day I folded my mirrors due to tight parking space and was in the hurry out, low and behold I forgot to unfold them, kinda hassle.

No logic at all.
I read in this forum that USA BMW cars are not allowed to fold mirrors with a prolongate button pressure of remote control when one locks the car.
May be I did not understand.

They do unfold automatically -- I think it's about 23mph but I could be mistaken. I think it's around the same mph that PDC automatically turns off and the doors automatically lock (if you have that set up...)
Well, I noticed it around small streets so I haven't got to 25mph yet when I just hit the button to unfold. Again what's the logic to unfold @25MPH when you lock doors at lower speed ???
