Folding mirrors retrofit kit?

Zitat von yan_750i_usa

3er and 5er dont have foldable mirrors in USA. no BMW have foldable mirrors in USA.

Hello!
1.st i'm sorry for my poor english...

if you wouldt like to have a look in this document, you will see, that the E90 (the new 3 series) has  folding mirrors

so what is the reason for not obtaining folding mirrors in the USA?
or what is the reason for no adaptive E65 breake-light here in Europe?

It all depends on national regulatory affairs....

Because of an anormal movement of the E65 mirror in moving, there has been no allowance in the USA yet. If you look close to the folden mirror, you will see, that its top is coming not in a horizontal way near to the vehicule, but in a manner approx 70° above. So this wouldt cause problems in a automatically carwash unit, which isn't suitable for these mirrors.
I'm not shure, if this is the real reason, but i think differences in security rules between Europe & the USA are the real reasons.
