This is kinda sorta said tongue in cheek, but maybe not ...
I have this simmering anxiety that the first week my M3 is home I will clip a mirror trying to drive into the garage for a charge. Until now we have never bothered to park in the garage since the space always seemed better used for something else. And I just don't trust myself to always remember to fold the mirrors manually, not to mention the annoyance. For the past couple of months I have been parking in my driveway as close to middle of the garage door as I can with decent results but I just know that the day will come when I come in at an angle.
But then I thought about all the electrical doo-dads luxury cars have that I just yawn over, and I started feeling a little left out. If my neighbor can have a heated steering wheel rather than put on a pair of gloves, why cannot I have side-mirrors that fold as I approach my driveway and extend as I leave ?
At a minimum, I want my car to alert me: "you are just about home, dopey. Don't forget to fold the mirrors!" Cameras cannot arrive soon enough.
