X5 Folding Mirrors

Hi guys

Does anyone know if I can get the mirrors on my X5 to fold when I lock the car?

At the moment I have to press the little button on drivers door near window switches to make this happen. There is no option to make this happen in the idrive system, so I'm guessing this might not be possible?

Thanks for any help

    What year is the X5?

    Try holding down your lock button for a couple of seconds when you lock it. Most newer BM's have full closure on the windows, and this sometimes applies to the mirrors as well.

    Don't reverse this though when unlocking as your mirrors might unfold, but all of your windows will go down as well!
