Do they install a motor or is it all ready there? Do US cars have the motor too?

Electric folding mirrors are an option in the UK. There is a button on the inside of the car next to the mirror adjustment. You can also have the mirrors prgrammed to fold on the "lock" button on the key fob. This is what I asked of my dealer to do for me, as I had opted for the folding mirrors

My Dec '03 model works just fine... The dealer needs to enable, that's it!

Yes this forum is great. Had mine activated when I first got my E60 back in March 2004.

When I requested it to be done, the Service people didn't even know it was possible or could be done. Well they learnt something new

When I had mine done the dealer knew it was possible, but the starter button key fob rather than a standard key caused them a bit of a problem - but they overcame it eventually. Great function because when I see my mirrors folded it stops me going back to check that I've locked it....
