It is also for narrow street parking in european cities - so your mirrors don't get ripped off on your parked car by passing cars on the narrow streets.

So my friends mercedes will fold in the mirrors when he turns off the car, why doesnt BMW have this technology?

Mine does. A button on the door automatically draws them in, and if you drive away with them retracted they automatically go out again. Mercedes have nothing over BMW

BMW rather spend the dollars on making the car ride and handle as it should. Leave the fluff to the Benzos (now with that said, I want folding mirrors too )
