When you press the button to fold or un-fold the external mirrors, how long does it take to actually open or close. Does this time differ on the M5 as opposed to the normal E60s?

Mine only takes a couple of seconds, not sure what the time difference is compared to an M5.

Mike takes approx. 3 seconds. And the right one makes tiny squiiik sound when closing :)

If its not too much too ask can someone time this with a stop watch?

When I open them, I approach the left-handed, open it, surround the car on the front part and open the right, whole approximately 8-10 seconds.

When I close them, I turn-off the car, open the door of the driver, close it, close the left rear-view mirror, surround the car on the front part and close the right rear view mirror, approximately 10-12 seconds.

:doh:

If I had a M5 I suppose that approximately the same thing would be late. :lol:

3 secs on an M5.

Maybe you would run faster to drive sooner with M5 :)

Never measured the time but it does not trouble me.

But, what is new to me ... if retracted and I head out on to the road, they automatically extend when up to speed!

Cool, what will they think of next?

Some cars have this feature, some do not. If you do, there's this little black button by the driver's door area where you would usually retract the window.
