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?

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

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?
