My Ride: 535XI

Hi,

I read somewhere, I forgot where, in bimmerfest, bimmerforums, e90post or e60.net about some member wanting to fold in his side-view mirrors with the fob alarm ( it isn;t very clear to me anymore, but it is the jest of it ). Something about enlightening dealers that they actually need to do something to the car, so this option is available.

Can someone please tell me about this thing or where I can find the info on it???

Please HELP ME! Thank You in advance, I owe you mah life!

I believe you need to have memory seats for the function to be programmable, but can't confirm that, as I've not had it done on my car.
