Do the mirrors fold up when parked? I can't seem to find anything in all papers to say whether they do or not. Otherwise, I'll call the dealer.

The mirrors fold electricallly on the Euro models. On US model, we get to do it by hand.

Yeah, why would they do that in the Euro models and not the American models?

I got an American model, and I have to fold them by hand.

Also, if I went for an European Delivery, does that mean I have the option to get the folding mirrors?

The short answer is no. We are lucky in the states, in that many of the options we get are substantially cheaper than the ones in Germany and Europe. I think a German is going to pay around 125 dollars for a cupholder on a 6...ours is included. The list goes on forever. If you are going to get ED, I suggest that you do look at getting German mirrors put on...all you have to do is buy the glass. That way you get a much better view and don't have to look at the dumb "Objects are closer thatn they appear" warning. Also think about switching out the sun visors too. That way you don't have the ugly yellow warning stickers about baby seats!
I did that for both and the car looks much better for it.

You can wait for the new M6, it will have the fancy mirrors that folds itself ;)

Oh absolutely. With 500HP, and topspeed of about 200MPH, the M6 is just fantastic, but when I read that it had fancy folding mirrors, I knew that there was something very special about this car that makes me want to trade up my 645. :D
