Slight correction here but essentially the same thing. It is possible to reprogram the car immobilizer (BMW call it ews ... I think Mercedes call it EDIS maybe ... It's been a while) system to accept keys but the complexity of removing parts, unsoldering of parts (for certain models) and cost of the equipment to program does not make sense to buy a used or unprogrammed key. I looked into this some time ago and just purchased from the dealer.

Time to add something to this thread:
Auto Folding Mirrors coding: Several menus required.
Information & Communication > IC Instrument Cluster > Control Unit Adaptations > Select your MY > Variant Coding > Special Equipment > Mirror Fold-In > PRESENT
Body > System Diagnosis > Control Unit Adaptations > Read Coding and Change > Programming of Vehicle Equip > Folding Outside Mirrors > FITTED
Seats/Doors > DCM-FL > Adaptations ->Read Coding and Change > Fold In Outside Mirror When Locking> ACTIVATED
You should now have the option in your Speed Cluster under Convenience.
Quick Video in action

I enabled/activated everything I could find for auto close pano roof...with no luck. The only other thing I can think of is setting the car to "rest of world" which may be the ticket.

cornering foglights:
for cornering lights, and only for post 2004, go to SAM-F and in dev mode, go to "Abiegelicht" and enable cornering lights, then reset module by locking/unlocking the car (Key off ignition)

What I was told by Steve , only if the newer cluster is under 1k miles or if you have a cluster with more than 1k miles you can move forward in mileage one time but not backwards

Anyone in San Diego willing to hook it up with some STAR action for some free German beer?? I don't drink the cheap stuff.
That's only if you have the Euro COMAND unit, correct?
