Unlike Europe there is still not enough call for them here so they are not included.
However, I do not understand why manufacturers still make two different types of mirrors for both L & R as there is very little cost difference from the OEM part manufacturer for the motorised and it means BMW have to have more part bins. You would think it would be far better that they only had the one component in L & R

Some car manufacturers are now using the same internal parts for all models but disable the control in their standard/base model.
Back in March i was told the 1 series didn't have folding mirrors so I walked away (my apartment car spot is tight). I complained to BMW and they apologized... instead of telling me it was actually an option...

weird...

good thing but, back them a 118i with less was more expensive than my 125i on order...
