As standard, yes. The folding mirrors became available in the US starting on the 2008 E60's (LCI)...

I had them when I had M5 mirrors, but that wasn't factory installed.

I believe its the Premium package for 2008+ LCI E60's. Which model and year is yours? It might be a pain to do. Your mirrors might not have the folding module. Unless they all come with it. I'm not sure.

Sorry, should have clarified earlier. The US didn't get folding mirrors until My2008. Rest of the world had them earlier...

I have folding mirrors in my 2008 E60.

I wouldn't really call them "Auto" folding as I have to push a button to make them fold. I asked the dealer to program them to fold when I put the car in park but they said it was not possible. So I pretty much never fold them.
