Hi All,

New to this site but been here before for research.

Anyway just bought my second Z4 and looking for tips and guidance about various mods and upgrades. Currently trying to sort out the folding mirrors on locking the car with fob. Hope to try this again tomorrow having found quite a few posts about this here:
viewtopic.php?t=140095&start=45

Will post an update of whether I crack this nut!

Hi John, I too wanted my mirrors to fold in when I lock the car and vice versa, so I bought a smart top. I believe it can be done by coding the car somehow. The smart top is a great mod for any E89 and does all other things not just the folding mirrors bit. I can’t believe no one has asked for pictures of your car yet………

Audi S5 Cab, Great car but not special enough….
BMW E89 3.5i DCT, Havana Brown, should never have sold it…..

Thanks guys, I have not worked out how to add a photo, I tried to attach one to this message but the file was too large! Having a go at the mirrors tomorrow with Bimmercode.
