As the title suggests, my car does not have folding mirrors! A big mistake by original owner in my view, they ticked most options but missed this and I think it would only had added £350 to the purchase price!!!

Anyway, can they be retro fitted, if so what is the best way to go about it? And how much of my hard earned will it cost me?

Same question on the reversing camera....?

Both yes at huge expense and coding of the car with some additional modules to buy, no doubt.

Guys on the american forum have tried retro-fitting a heated steering wheel to an E70 and failed.... :(

Yes, I found a bit out on an amercian forum, seemed not too successful but they are only Americans and know little about most things!!!!

Thought I'd ask on here, get the real info that I can trust!

Would it be worth looking for breaking yards to get the modules? Then coding I guess? Warranty issues? Etc... Might just have another beer and forget it....!!!!!

No, give Jason a call as he sees them through his doors all the time. He should know! And he'll be able to code them too.
