Silly question, but how do you fold your mirrors? How can I tell if I have manual or electric folding mirrors?

Is it me or are the mirrors a strange shape and not in quite the right position. Sorry I was talking about the mirrors on the 2011 5.

My folding mirrors on my E61 works great and stay in position.

Thank you for the reply! I don't have a push button next to the control. I have the mirror control and the slide button to control left and side mirrors. BTW, I have a 04 545i. I have the premium package. Is it possible I don't have this feature?

^It's standard on the 550i, or optionally included with the premium package on the 5-series.

Thank you all! It looks like my 2004 545i does not have the option. So how do you manually fold the mirrors? I tried but am afraid to break something.
