Electric folding mirrors - what value would you put on them??

Got a bit further is my quest to give my Mini auto folding mirrors.
Thanks to some help from Japan I have some part numbers but they are not cheap - then I have got to build a circuit & wire it up.
What sort of value would you put on this feature??

Well they're £135 on a 3 series, so take into account extras are about 30% more expensive on a BMW then MINI I'd say at most £100 and for that I'd also want the auto dipping when you put it into reverse gear

Could be very useful where I park most often, not sure how much they'd be worth. Enough for you to make some money, and for them still to be a bargain I'd guess.

The mirrors themselves are about £100 each - got to iron that out with the mini parts dept, then you need the control gear - plus it fitting OR DIY

Zoiks! That's not going to be cheap.

I had em on 3 series and found it to be invaluable, you really miss it when you aint got it.
Easy £150 of my money, and worth it. Parking , just flip em in
Garage doors, Carpark entrances, narrow side streets all useful.

Think I'm gonna do my drivers side as an experiment and go from there (normally its my drivers side that would be vunerable.
