I asked about retrofitting of electric folding mirrors and was told it is not possible. This was for a Euro spec vehicle. Not really sure why this should be so difficult, but maybe the combination of the motors in the mirrors themselves, the control panel on the driver's door handle and the general linking-in to the vehicle's computer management system. Shame.

Also, my guess is that this wouldn't be cheap, even if it IS available.

I have a beef with our X5's power-folding mirrors. I find it ludricrous that on the driver's side it only folds in at a 45 deg. angle (it's a little more on the passenger's side). Yeah it's better than nothing but if you're gonna have it, then do it right and make them fold in all the way.

... on that basis, glad I saved my money.

I just called Crevier here in SoCal and was told that they can not be programmed here.
Wot a bummer, I am sure there is some pathetic legal reason why they wont do it here, the same as window closer issue, it cannot be done with the key remote.
:dunno: :mad: :dunno:
