It's probably so you don't trap someone's hand in there. Same reason you can't be trusted with the auto closing tailgate. Afraid of litigation. Expect UK to follow suit within a few years. We usually do: McDonald's, shopping malls, have you had an accident at work recently that wasn't your fault....

my old 3 series would do that. if you held down your finger on the comfort access strip, the mirrors would fold in and the windows and sunroof would close (if they were open). i miss that feature.

When you open sunroof - at first it stops not fully aligned with the rear glass, but if you move sunroof control back once again - it slides all the way back.

I still giggle a little watching other cars shrink in the mirror, some not caring a lick, but some wondering why that little SUV got away from them.

Even more than the arrows, you get a diagram of the upcoming intersection that's freakishly accurate, the turn arrows, street name, and a decreasing bar indicating distance remaining during final approach. Nahoa likes it.

torque and hp gauge in IDrive under Sport mode or something like that. It was a surprise to my CA as well. Shows you what you are doing with that hot four banger

For those with paddle shifters, I recently discovered that even in non-sport modes, depressing the paddle shifters will put the car in manual mode and then automatically revert to auto mode once no gear changes are selected for a few seconds... I find this particularly useful when wanting to engine break or even for just gunning it for a few secs and wanting to keep both hands on the wheel.

I thought I noticed the dipping passenger mirror when I was leaving the dealership, but I don't think I've seen it do it again and I can't find a setting for it in the iDrive menu.
