No folding mirror?

Is it me or the C63 does NOT have folding mirrors? My C350 has this option and cant believe my C63 does NOT.

I was so disappointed about this too. My C350 had it but my C63 AMG does not!?? That should be a standard on a car like this...

I was told it was an option (or part of the P2 package) for MY '08, but not for MY '09; they probably put it back in for MY '10.

No folding mirrors for US spec MY 2010 C63. It does have the tilt down function. I too was disappointed but oh well ......

I ***'in hate you!!!!!!!!!!!! j/k. But seriously, I cannot figure out why MB screws their U.S. customers out of so many good things; we have MB Keyless Go and the folding mirrors on our '07 GL450 AND I had the folding mirrors on my '07 BMW 335i...love that feature. It's so much easier to get into my garage (my car is on the small, 1CG side and my wife's GL450 SUV is on the 2CG side) when the mirrors are folded. Right now, I have about 3 in. from each C63 side mirror when entering my garage. btw -- BMW does the same ***** too with European vs. U.S. models. I still cannot understand why?

I did not realize how many additional features our Canadian version has compared to the US one: Folding mirrors, full Ipod functionality, keyless, ESP Sport staying on even after breaking, ... what else? Parking sensors front and rear? I guess we must be paying more for all these extra gadgets.

Is nice to have but not something that is going to take my sleep away. I would only use it if I park the car in a heavily car parking area(which I never do by the way). I always walk the extra 200ft or 1/4 mile as long as I get my car away from the a$sholes.

Folding mirrors were dropped in the 09's (US models) on up instead you got memory seats. I know which 1 I would rather have.

Yes, I know everything is more expensive in Canada (and even more expensive in the rest of the world), so I am not complaining.
