Question Mirrors fold in when Parked?

I have noticed a few Mercs where the mirrors seem to fold in when parked. Is this an option?, I have a 2006 E350 and I thought I had seen a mention of it in the manual, but now I can't find it. Maybe I just dreaming

Not available as factory-installed in MBUSA market however, you can purchase parts for DIY from Steve or set up an appointment for install (i.e.: https://mbworld.org/forums/1475426-post1.html ). Existing frames are reused so no need to paint and auto fold when locked if wanted is programmed with SDS.

BTW this 212 is forum you should be posting in 211 https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w211-20/

W211 = E class 2003-2009
W212 = E class 2010-present

I see model years do not list for 211 & 212 perhaps an administrator can update https://mbworld.org/forums/

Thanks for the sad info on the mirror option :-(

Also, I too wondered what the w211 vs w212 was, so thanks for that too.
