Is the difference between 230i and m240i wing side mirrors purely aesthetic?

Also, I'm trying to google search if the 230i has the ability to auto open/close side mirrors when you go near/leave the vehicle. Thank you...

Own 230i. Don't have an answer for your first question, but can confirm that mirrors automatically fold/unfold when you getting closer/further from the car. But I believe that you need to have comfort access feature added to your build to have it (not 100% sure tho).

tyvm! getting shadowline/m sport/premium packages so i should be good.

another random question...if i get the premium package, is it actually possible to remove the garage door opener (its $200, I live in an apartment so I won't need it)?

Does your complex have an access gate? The mirror can be coded to open those too.

To be clear I'm answering his follow-up question about the homelink rear view mirror. Is that what you're wondering about?

The homelink mirror can easily be programmed to open any access gate for which you have a remote

Our complex does have an access gate, but it doesn't use a remote- it reads a small barcode sticker provided by the complex (like a toll-tag I suppose).

reading the 2022 manual, I believe I found it (interesting wording lol)

Ah, kind of a bummer in this case then. I don't believe you can remove it from the build though. Just for resale value I think it would be more than worth it to keep it in anyway. I would be turned off from buying a car without it

Good point, thank you. To be honest I am going to lease (yeah I'm crazy) but $200 is change compared to the overall msrp I suppose.
