M235 Folding mirrors Standard?

I just picked up my '15 M235x. The BMW web site says they are standard. They are NOT on my car. Help!

The button to control your folding mirrors is on the driver's side door, closets to the door panel. You have push that button each time you park to make the windows fold. Once you ready to drive you push the same button to unfold the mirrors, or they will automatically unfold once you hit about 25 mph. You can also do some coding to have unfold/fold with the use of the FOB.

I would assume if you haven't figured out how to fold them IN yet, the automatic foldout feature will be a moot point.

Nvm you were referring to the prior post.

Sorry about that, I thought the had to be coded to unfold automatically, I read the posts wrong I need to

Once I hit 25 mph, they did unfold automatically.

But they must be coded to fold automatically (with the fob)?

Yes I think you need to code it to unfold from their fob, looks at the cheatsheet

Error

My 2015 235 (U.S model)doesn't have the folding mirrors.
They are listed on the web-site as standard but it's too late now for me to worry about it, I'm fine without it.

No button not even an outline or indentation.
I do have the LED lights on the underside of the exterior door handles which are very nice

I believe the folding mirrors are part of the premium package for some odd reason. I know they were not standard on the e90. Kind of ridiculous on a 50k car.

I can't complain, I don't think it was a case of fraud.
I'm more concerned if I should use BMW branded oil or Castrol Edge from Wal-Mart.

BMW oil is made by Castrol. Castrol Edge should be fine.

I have never forgot to unfold them before pulling out on the new car. I did test it yesterday and they folded out at aprox 25mph +/-

It doesn't have to be fraud. If they listed it as standard and you relied on that statement, you have cause to complain and they'll probably give you a credit.

I know, and certain some people will take up the issue, I hadn't read the small print on the web site to know if there is recourse or not - don't they sometimes state that they (BMW) can make changes from those described and to contact dealer for actual or most up- to-date features.
Just feel that it's a mistake, I initially ordered a 2014 but my build didn't go through till as a 2015 build. Knew there were features eliminated and features added due to model year change.

So this is weird i assumed like you non premium package had em due to Power-folding, heated side mirrors being listed as a standard option. Called BMW and the phone help stated that it should be a standard option, from all the information they have as well. But my dealer said its only for premium packages....WTF im confused!!! That woul be the only thing i would be interested in on the premium package for my 2015 M235I but def not paying 2k for that.
