My Ride: '05 525iA (steptronic) Jet Black, Beige interior, poplar trim, premium package, cold package, Logic7 w/ 6 CD changer.
Due to be delivered in Nov.
Still waiting on my 2005 525i and never noticed an option or package description that mentioned electronic folding mirrors. Any info on this would be appreciated.
Only EU and other country have those individual options.

If they add it to US cars, it'll most likely be farther down the road than the second year of production. These little additions add value to the cars after they've been out a while and make people feel better about upgrading or buying a car thats nearer to it's end-of-life.
If you think about it, they already have it working so there's no development costs associated with adding it. The only cost is the parts themselves and they'll get that back through price increases, etc.

If you have ever had to park your car on a German street, you would love the folding mirrors. Dennis (530E60NL) showed me how his work. Be great for any parking lot where a kid or something would have the chance to bang into them. That is one option that I would get in a heartbeat if it were available to US cars. But its Europe only for right now.
