Not all M5 mirrors autofold. I had a set that did not have the fold option.

Only way to really tell is if you see some wires inside the mirror. Then you can tell if they fold.

By folding you mean when by mirrors fold up right? not the Autodip feature when it folds down when people reverse...

How do you activate the autofold? Let's say I get the autofold M5 mirrors, is there a door switch i need to get to make them fold?

Cool, so how do you make them fold? Is there a switch I need to buy in order to electronically fold them?

There's a switch/button at the top of the window switch panel on the driver's side door.

There's a button next to my "Left-Right" Mirror Switch. I control/decide the auto-fold.
