You can set the delay needed to hold the lock button that activates the folding mirror - I have mine set to 0.5 seconds (half a second).
There is no delay on unlock - it is instant.
These options are in the standard screen (not the expert mode) & can be set individually for the mirrors / windows / roof.

Which options do you choose to set the mirrors to open/close on bimmer (I have confirm access)
Thanks in advance
It says this in bimmer (not convertibles )
Fold mirrors with convenient closing
Enable/disable mirror folding with convenient closing. Please note that your car has to be equipped with power folding mirrors and that this option does not work for convertibles.
Values:
Active
Not active
Requirements:
“Footwell Module” FRM2_E89 or “Footwell Module” FRM3_E89 or “Footwell Module” FRMFA control unit

I'd need to check in the car, but I set everything active that was related to convenient open/close - you want the options for remote - the standard ones are for key opening, I think
Although it says "not convertibles" I don't think that applies to the E89 - I suspect it's for eg the 3-series or Mini. I have no real idea why
it would not be an option there! I also have no idea why BMW set this up in such a strange way (unless to sell comfort access?)

There are two additional expert settings that @matsmith749 pointed out
On my car/app the second one seems to be called KOM_SCHLIESS_FDB_E89 instead.
These are in the Comfort Access System (CAS) and Convertible Top Module (CTM) sections of the app, respectively,
so you need to code twice (once for each module). The ECU reboots after coding each one.
Then you need to be aware that unlike most cars, by default there's a delay before the car responds to the remote
- you need to hold the unlock button for 5s to unfold the mirrors and the lock button for about 3s to fold them.
You can change these delays too.
Good luck.

Strangely the vin decoder doesn't show folding mirrors but it clearly has them
sooo frustrating as I'm sure its something simple on the programming
does anyone know in expert mode when changing these:-
You also need to code (expert mode):
CAS : FH_KOMFORTF_MIT_SUBST
CTM : KOMFORT_SCHLIESS_FBD89
do you just change from inactive to active?

I'm not much help by PM guys - I've figured this out just like the rest of us by using the forums - I'm definitely no coding guru!
If the above isn't enough to get it working for you, and you definitely have folding electric mirrors fitted, there is a thread out there somewhere that you will find within 2 minutes of googling that has a head-to-toe list of all possible coding options for folding mirrors.
That's where I found the 2 lines in expert mode that were needed - it's possible you need more than that as it seems different options fitted / different years of car maybe have different needs to get this magical trick working.
