    Would like to know if the 599's side mirrors have power folding, if so, how do I access it? If not, are there any aftermarket alternatives? Thanks so much for answering my silly question...

    Nope, no such luxury on the 599!

    When you say manual... You do mean manually going out the door after you parked and pushing in the mirrors by hand to fold to be correct? Wonderful! Anyone with aftermarket fixes? Since the mirrors themselves are power adjusting...

    OMG, you shouldn't be playing with this in my opinion. Keep it original, if you ever sell the car this will definitely reduce buyer's interest. And i am not talking about possible issues with electronics. When you consider that other owners had electronic/electric issues such as the warning light on because of parking sensors fault, it says all.

    Leave them manual. Yes a bit of a pain but you can rationalize it as extra car bonding time. My garage is more than wide enough for the car and mirrors but I oftentimes would park under a lift and the width was then pretty close. So I would just pull in the drivers side mirror- easily done while pulling the car in.

    You only need to fold the one to get in a garage bay. At least you don't have to roll down the window manually :D

    It does not sound like it is worth it. However, my 612 mirrors do power fold and I believe the exterior mirror switch on the dash of the 599 and the 612 are the same (which controls my folding mirrors) so if you wanted to go down the path, you might be able to adapt the other 612 folding mirror bits to work.

    599 mirrors are a different design, and I can't see how you would electrify the process without damaging the car. Don't bother!
