The reason for the higher aspect ratio in the front is so that the rolling diameter ends up the same despite the difference in tire width.

I agree with you on the folding mirrors. I use them when there is a reason to use them, but setting them to fold every time means you will be replacing some very expensive mirror motors sooner than otherwise necessary.

When parking on narrow streets they really come in handy...so there is definitely a reason to have them if you can.

From what I've seen nobody seems to have them without premium package.

Need some suggestion on how to get my mirrors to fold using bimmercode. I have all the Comfort and Mirror settings to active with no delay. Thanks
