I think so on the LCI ... but manually via button on the driver side door not via remote key during lock/unlock ...

Is the auto folding mirrors standard on premium package for 2008 and up cars in the US?

It could be a cash cow for the stealers in the US. I'd be willing to pay 1/2 hour labor to have it added to mine.

Its not a matter of knowing how to do it. The US software for "retrofits" does not have the mirror folding available. So the US dealers dont even have the option to retrofit it because all our cars have a US VIN code and only has US software available.

I wish man. Damn BMW limits everything! I'm just waiting for that european module that they have to retrofit folding. Bruce has his hands on it at the moment so he should be able to figure out a nice plug and play method or tap into some wires and it should work.. Gosh I'm so excited, after 2 years, i finally get mirror folding! LOL.
