Yes
It is yet another extra here that is standard on many other cars at lesser value
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.
