Something cool for our F10 in Hong Kong

Guys,
I just discovered something cool by accident. From reading here, apparently, our brothers in US who has comfort access option cannot fold the external mirrors by touch. They can do so by holding lock button on remote only.

I locked the car yesterday via touching the driver side handle, and turned to speak to some one. When I looked back, the mirrors are folded up! I called BMW service last week and they told me they had no way of doing that. This must be a bonus for us

I just use USB flash. The Idrive can search by Genre, Singer, Album, or Title. It can also take playlists. Easy enough. I don't quite like ipod/iphones anyway......

No need to set in IDrive. Just keep pressing the door handle to lock the car.....

Door Lock - Auto folding side mirrors

Hi...just press the remote BMW Middle Logo to lock doors for 5 secs, it automatically folds the side mirrors.

You can also do it from any other door handle , at least for the SG version. Saves one the hassle of having to walk over to the driver's side to lock/fold the side mirrors.
