Unless you test it out. I mentioned that in a thread (link on page 2).
I had to prove to myself that it was actually activated as it was enabled by my dealer as it was a 2003 built car.

[quote name='colejl' date='Dec 19 2004, 11:43 AM'][quote name='ISUK' date='Dec 17 2004, 01:43 PM']If you have the folding mirror option on your car then yes, you can have the mirrors programmed to fold when you press and hold the remote locking button on the key. They fold back out when you unlock it. I had this re-programming done 3 weeks ago in the UK.
It should be a changeable option in iDrive but the simplification done on the 5-series may explain why it's not there...
Cool feature and I use it lots
These remote functions really impress other people... (Including the boot release)[snapback]70451[/snapback]
[/quote]yes mine is now working when you lock car they fold in and when you open car they fold out and yes it should be on the idrive i had a merce320d and it was available to me from the steering wheel. The reason i like this is that it gives you a good visual method of checking if your car is locked look across the drive, are mirrors folded in then car is locked

[/quote]Can you tell me what you or your dealer did to get the mirrors to fold on locking. I would like to see if I can get it done on mine.

You have to press and hold down the lock button on the remote until the mirrors start folding. If you then release and press another time, the interior sensor of your alarm system (if you have this option) will be switched off... So only press and hold it once.
That only works if the dealer activated it, and if you have folding mirrors.
