Edit: My mirrors have the power fold function, still requires a button press but does not happen when the car shuts off.

My "old" 335xi had them....it's just the non-M E60's here in the states that don't have the option. Go figure that the 3 has it, but the 5 doesn't...kind of like the Compass on the rearview mirror.
