Default Couple of wish list items

2003 D3 4.2

Just wondering if either of the following are possible ?

a) to make the wing mirrors automatically fold up at ignition off or door lock ?

b) same again but with the headlights, or ideally to stay on for 30secs after lock and then go off ?

Mirrors would be fiddly.

But the lights should stay on. It's an MMi setting for the coming home lights. (well, it's the fogs that stay on).

I like the option a) very much !!!
That would be very cool.

Guys, you know when you folding your mirrors, are they super quiet or fairly noisy?
I can't remember what should they sound like as I'm not using this function very often, but recently when I did I got a bit annoyed as they were quiet noisy, or maybe just the driver one as you are sitting next to it and if something happened to it that is the one you will hear even if the other one makes very little noise.
I will have a look later on.
Thanks

Mine make a sort of low growling/whirring noise, always been the same over many years. Don't really notice it TBH - D2 though not D3.

Mine are fairly quiet because I don't think it's a feature used enough so not worn out a suspect, Gives me confidence that nobodys said it's impossible yet

I don't have that option for the lights ?
