Question:
Difficulty of installing M5 Side mirrors?
Do they auto fold up if retro fitted to E60?
Cost?
anything else I might need to know?

Much appreciated

Just need to get the correct set of M5 side mirrors, so that your connectors match, and everything will work, I think. There's two kinds of M5 side mirrors, pre09/05 and post 09/05. You have to match that with your car's MY.

Depending which country you are in (please indicate that in your profile), US models do not have auto folding function. Europe has this function. Therefore, in US, we can get all the mirror functions except auto folding, pity ....

Yes, that's correct. However, we still don't have the auto folding function in US.

I'll give it another try to dealer next week. Ask for Vehicle Order this time. I don't know how much it's going to cost me here.

I don't quite understand "Vehicle Order". Are we going to ask dealer to order a new car instead of re-coding to get auto folding feature ?
