Retro Fit Folding Mirrors?

Hi, we have a 60 plate X1 Xdrive but could do with folding mirrors, is it possible to retro fit them?
Thanks

Have a look at Realoem, put in the last 7 of your VIN and see if there is an official retrofit kit.

If there isn't then you will need to identify all the required parts, loom, switches etc.

It's always possible but it might not be worth the effort required without an official kit.  BMW used to use a standard loom which had all the spare connections, but it seems not to happen in newer models - weight/cost saving I suppose.
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

Thanks, that's a useful site but unfortunately doesn't have it listed. Will look into other options.
