No power folding mirrors in the US.

Does anyone know the logic behind this? I see it on Bimmers and Mercs all the time.

Simple. Cost cutting.

Wouldnt the cost be passed on to the consumer? We have the auto dimming and power mirrors, adding a small motor shouldnt be that much more costly.

The folding mirrors can be folded by rotating the mirror adjuster to point down. In MMI you can say whether they do it automatically when you lock up..... in Europe that is.

Default You have to see the seats in person

I actualy think the pictures I posted represent the color very well, but the alcantara needs to be felt. It really is a luxurious fabric. Believe me, Louis Vuitton wouldn't be using it if it wasnt. I like it much better than a two tone leather on leather contrast.

Very cool color. There aren't too many Misano red A4's in my area. I was told that they couldn't get the color.
