I saw an M5 with folded mirrors (looked ugly with the mirrors folded upwards), but I don't know if the driver did this manually or the car did it automatically.

If you have an LCI (2008+) its with the mirror switch assembly on the drivers door.
To the left is the fold button, in the middle is the wheel and to the right selects left and right mirror and tiltdown backup side mirror.

Not all cars have this. In the USA this is an option. If I knew then what I know know, I would have looked for a car with this option.

We don't get remote closing of our windows either, but I think Europe does.

Mine has it, but it's not automatic. Since nobody has yet to say their US cars mirrors folds and unfold automatically, we have to conclude the "auto" part is not available in the US.

yup the auto windows is a euro thing im afraid but at least you get pro nav instead of the crappy business nav
In the US its Pro Nav or No Nav, atleast we have a cheaper alternative in case we find BMW's price for Pro Nav daylight robbery (which it is).
