Joe, you actually just need to get mirrors with the folding motors. The E60 contains the module already, so it just needs coding to enable folding via key fob.

Based on Simon's info, its probably easiest to buy your set from NVD. Fitment is acceptable from what I've seen.

This I am not sure. I was under the impression that the reps exterior housing is nearly the same as the real deal, but the internal is different. That being the case, since the motor has to be swapped over from your existing, I suppose it could be possible that auto-fold can be achieved if you can source the motors.

Anyone know the part number? I might partake in this actually if it's doable without too much modification -- cuz I am lazy like that.

Yah, I was just giving it a little bit more thought, perhaps it's best if the question is answered by NVD. He should be able to tell us.

In my mind, I don't think it's possible, but we can hope together.
