Auto-folding Side Mirrors on eBay (MBenzNL??)...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Anyone bought these? Price is steep @ $575, but I'd still get them for the folding functionality. I asked the seller if they'd auto-fold upon locking the vehicle, but he said no. I'm assuming some other wiring would have to be done. I'm wondering if the wiring would be similar to Euro-spec W210s with this feature. I recall MBenzNL having this for sale, IIRC.

Retrofitters, please feel free to share your input. I'd like to hear any opinions or suggestions to installation prior to me purchasing them.

If I were you, I am not going to buy the chinese made W210 folding mirror, I am going to check with Steve (or Wanda) for OEM part (that including the switch) @MBenzNL. The mirror will not fold with the keyless pad. It will be more $$, but you can get part (just in case it broke) from MB dealer. Because you location (Steve come to the US quite often every year to install MB part for US customers, I know that he came to CA (LA & SF), NY & Wash,DC, FL in the past), he may not be able to serve in your location. Just email him & ask questions & advices. Good luck.

Much cheaper European site $164.80 USD. I wouldn't pay $500
On Ebay.de you can find a lot of stuff. Not all, but a lot of sellers will ship to the states. I have purchased a lot of things for my car there.

I have had this project done back in 2007 and it cost me over $1K for the parts. You would need folding motors, wood panel inside the car and switches. You can used the existing mirrors and covers from the car. If you want convex mirrors, add another 400 bucks

I haven't a problem installing it myself. I'm sure it's more of obtaining the parts as being a hassle more than anything. I thought that the mirrors were able to auto-fold, but I guess that's not a feature even in the Euro-spec W210s. I'm in Penang, Malaysia right now; perhaps, I can find out pricing from them heh. If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know.

I'm looking at the pictures...I can't read German, but from what I can see, is that's what they're offering for 125 euros? Is it one side, or the pair? Intuition tells me that the blinker assembly and the glass is included with the folding assembly. I'll pull the trigger on here if I can get verification.

Here's my cart:

1 x Mercedes W210 E Klasse - Spiegel elektr.+beh. - gesperrter Artik 125,00 EUR
Packetversand (Versand nach US: (1 x 1.1 kg)): 55,00 EUR
inkl. EU-AUS-UST 0%: 19,96 EUR
Summe: 180,00 EUR

All you have to do is get Google chrome browser and then open the link with it. It will ask you if you want to translate to English. It works but not everything.
