    I cry a bit every time I walk out to the garage and hop into my corolla beater as I look over at my 1er. I miss driving it every day. 

    I also contemplate picking up a higher mileage 335xi nearly every day. As long as it had cold-weather package, I'd be happy to use it as my beater. My 'yota has 253k on the clock and is burning/losing 2 quarts of oil every 250-300 miles, and the other day I was quite sure the motor was going to give out in rush hour. Rebuild kits for the engine are like, sub-300 bucks so I considered tearing it down and just redoing all the internals, but then I struggle with the mentality of "well then the transmission will go, and I'll spend even more money picking up a used one". 

    oh, and yeah, folding mirrors are tits. 1ers don't do it inherently on the fob, but I had mine coded to fold them when I lock the car.

      The E36 M3 and the E46 M3 are in storage, and I have the E30 out for winter duty. I have completely forgotten what driving enjoyment is at this point... Is it spring yet?

        How do you know if they can fold? I've never tried pushing mine... I was under the assumption that they don't fold at all.

              I never fold my mirrors.  It's called VIP Boss Man status.

                        as Michael said there would be a button by your power window switches, but if you push it, the car will only fold the mirrors below 10 mph. As far as the key fob, 1ers didn't come with that and needs to be specially coded.

                          It should be a small round button with a mirror symbol on it. I think it was a standard feature after 2005 on all cars but don't qoute me. You should be able to manually fold them in too.

                                What are folding e39 m5 mirrors worth? I've got the mirrors and button laying around.

                                      My 1er does not have this. I don't think I have Premium Package... so maybe it's included in there.

                                      I'm too scared to manually fold them. Accidentally find out that they aren't foldable and I break the fricken thing off.

                                        That's an optional "extended storage package" (they can be stored separately then). Commonly referred to at dealers as the "Earl Special".
