Not available in the UK. I have the folding mirrors, but they only fold from the button INSIDE the car, not possible via remote.

I'm sure it is the same marketing and legal departments at BMWNA that take away all of the fun things.

It was an option to have them but no idea about how they are triggered, would imagine they automatically swing in upon locking the car. Its shown as a £160 option on the current bmw car configurator option code 313.

Yes, that is what I have. But you can not control them with the key, only with the button inside the car.

the German http://www.racing24.de website sells 'Spiegel Anklapp Modules' which are said to be Z4 compatible :?
for cars that have folding mirrors available, the module triggers the mirrors to auto fold when the ignition is turned off... :thumbsup:

If I tried to use that method, my wife would certainly make sure the mirrors never stuck out again........ever!
