I want to purchase replica m5 mirrors w/ the autofold feature. I know that I also need the switch from BMW to use the autofold feature.

When I say autofold, I don't mean fold down when backing up, I mean folding up like the OEM M5 mirrors. I found a set of mirrors from

I posted this on your other thread for the same topic. It looks as though you only need to run new wires if you want them to dim with your rear view.
