Automatic mirrors?

I\'m a bit disappointed when I know this is not even an option or 118i in HK.
Ever time I have to folds the mirror manually

Just wanna know if yours come with it in other countries?

It's a £340 option on own, or £250 with the visibility pack (xenon)

It is a costly option in Greece at around 550 Euro (is a pack along with auto dim interior and exteriro mirrors), but worth having IMHO.

Sonnig, I have confirmed with my friend. His basic model also got auto folding mirrors. And Macau dealers get stock from HK. Maybe you should go ask your dealer about it

Sonnig, my friend suggested I might misunderstood your problem. Do you mean it auto fold the mirrors when you shut off the car like MB does?

Yeah I only realised my 118i's side mirrors don't have auto-folding function after I took delivery of the car.

I always assume this function is standard with any new cars in Hong Kong!

Exactly, Human88. I also expected it would be standard for any new bimmer too. That's why I did not even care to check on this option before I placed my order.
Besides this, the car is perfect!

I m from Hong kong too! The most disappointed me is manual ac, it cost me hkd16000 (usd2000) to upgrade to an auto ac, one more bad thing is there is no air ventil and arm rest at the back.

wow, in Macau, where I live, no tax on options but the base price(with tax) for cars are more expensive than in HK. My F20 sportline base price was HK$348,900 (USD45,311) in Nov 2011. Don't know if they have increased now
