I can also vouch for the remote trunk closing thing my 550 does that flawlessly and I don't live in NA. I think I read somewhere that BMW restricted that feature because every one in the U.S is law suite happy.

It would be nice to be able to have an option in the iDrive menu somewhere to select if you would like to have the mirrors fold in automatically once you lock the car and the engine is turned off. I have to try the 4 sec handle thing to see if it folds the mirrors in. It may be a way to fold them in but considering that I would have to stand by the door for an extra 4 seconds to fold them in, especially in rain or worse on snowy days, I don't think that's the way to go...
The remote trunk close feature works in quite a few different countries, but it has been disabled in the NA models...
Just as you said, there are WAY too many law suite happy people around here, so the few make it harder for the many
