Opinion on this model? Seems like there are so many out there, would like to find out if anyone here has seen this before. I know it's too good to be true but love the folding feature even though I don't think my 550 has that option.

Thanks

Is there suppose to be a link...?

 

If you have an LCI model, you should have folding mirrors. The switch is on the driver side arm rest above the mirror adjustments.

 

sorry, thought I have paste it already.

Damn, it's an '06 model but I'm sure someone will figure out a way to do it, I hope.

 

What does LCI mean?

 

New lights, design, lights, cosmetics. My 08 528i has the power folding mirrors, any LCI with Premium Package has them.

 

This is such a useless option, it is second only to comfort access. Just curious when and why would you use it?

 

It depends on personal taste. I would love the get a set of M5 mirrors and there is a vendor here who sells the replica but without the folding feature for a higher price, I would like to get others opinions on this product since I'm a newbie to the E60. As for the comfort access, at first I had the same attitude as yours during my car searching process but now that I have it, I actually realize its usefulness. One arm carrying my daughter, the other arm carrying a grocery bag, just stick my finger into the door handle area and it unlocks, very convenience since I do not have to put either my daughter or the grocery bag down to get the key out of my pocket, in the rain.

 

I use the fold feature when parking in a lot where a lot of people will be walking through the cars to get to a mall for example. With them tucked in nobody will walk into them.

I also like Comfort Access when opening the doors for other passengers. Just touch the back door handle and all the doors open and I never have to fish around for my key fob when starting the car. I can also lock the car with a brush of my hand on any handle. You can even lean against it if your hands are full.
