Someone on bm3w.co.uk has done it. But I think the function is available only on post 2004 cars. You need to lock the car and the mirrors automatically fold up. But I'm not sure about the exact details.

Not sure bro, but if you ind out I would certainly be interested in knowing. I have thought about this - when you arm/disarm the alarm.

found it someone with a 2003 model had it done its the comfort relay but hi scar was face lift i am gonna ask my mate to have a look hes got all the latest bmw programming stuff he can also programe your keys (i.e. if someone else drives the car it sets the seat for them) make your alarm blip when u turn the alarm on and off make your TV stay on whilst u drive lock the doors as you drive off etc etc so i will see what he says about this mod maybe facelift only but u gotta try init :)

I've been trying to find out how to do this for ages. Found a place that will do it for a minimum of £150, but there must be a cheaper way!

I know quite a few E36 owners have done it but they all use aftermarket alarms. Perhaps it's something which can be done much easily with an aftermarket alarm?

there's a couple of guys on the m5board who have done this, involves adding a new wire/resistor to existing alarm loom... trouble is, it can "wear" down the motors in the wing mirrors, which can lead to failure.

If you press the button to fold the mirrors up/down 4-5times, it stops working, as the motors generally start to overheat, this is a safety clause, bmw put in. give it 5 mins, and they start working again ;)

i agree is a nice feature, but don't think its worth the extra ho-ha imo. :)
