side mirrors manually have to be folded in?

I know on some cars, there is a button where you can click to turn the side mirrors inward, perfect when you park on the side of the street. Can our W211 do that or does it have to be manually folded in. I didnt see a button.

Contact BIGSIS on this board. These can be had for about 750.00

Did you replace the whole side mirror assembly? What is included in the $750?

You will only swap out the mirror 'guts' and door switch. You will use your original mirror glass and outer cover. Took me about 2 hours to do the the first one and seriously, 15 minutes to do the other. I had no instructions at all but if you purchase them from MbenzNL via BIGSIS, they will come with instructions.

Not a hard mod for someone that likes to do stuff himself.
