    Do the R56s still have the option of electric mirrors?

    I got them on my '55 plate One. Nothing as lazy as having them flip back when the engine is off tho, one wee Press of a button is enough effort

    Same thing with my Civic. You fold the mirrors but you want to use them to see if there is any traffic coming before you open the door. There's no way to close them once you have the key out. This surely isn't the case with dearer cars like mercs and BMWs is it?

    According to the MINI website design your own MINI, the "Exterior Mirror Pack" (0313) is available for £160 from the factory.
    It doesnt say how it works however.

    on the r56 its an extra for flippy mirrors, and is worked by turning the adjuster in door to make mirrors flip up. i know it seems lazy but its more of a safety thing when im getting out of the car .
