Another "hidden" feature
When locking the car, hold down the 'lock' button on the key slightly longer than usual and the mirrors fold away - cool

Re: Another "hidden" feature
Folding mirrors aren't available on US non-M E60s. Are they on anybody's US M5?

Re: Another "hidden" feature
The mirrors on the 530's and 545's are different than on the new M5. I don't think they fold up electrically like the E60 M5
