Hi Mate am sure the auto dimming mirrors can be retrofitted as i did that personally in my wife's Volvo...the mirror unit you can buy it from the parts outlet of a dealership. All you need to do is get the cars with auto dimming wiring connection whether its available. For example in the volvo when you remove the mirror and slightly pull down the headlining trim there is a pre-wired end existing there. In BMW F20 as well it should be there and the auto dimming mirrors need power connection so that when light falls into that small spot on the mirror from the rear of the car it can dim itself. Check the wiring and if its there then get it done and also check for an indy local to you who can do the coding for you if needed. For the side mirrors definitely there will be additional wiring requirement and coding for them to work. But for the central one it will work
