Interesting as one would think that all iDrive7 software for this type of functionality would be the same across any vehicle with it installed. I get that some features are option specific and hardware wise this feature just requires Comfort Access. So in theory iDrive just needs to recognize it's available on the car and present the configuration option accordingly within the UI.
Of course this all assumes that BMW recognizes the fact that a universal code base with the intelligence to adjust accordingly to the hardware available is a best practice in the software world. Then again we all know they can't fight their way out of a paper bag when it comes to software proficiency.
Did your 2020 M5 with iDrive7 have the option to automatically collapse the mirrors when locked? My wife's 2017 X5 with iDrive 6 does not have that option yet the mirrors are powered and it has Comfort Access as well. There is an iDrive update for it but reading the software release notes it just fixes things that are not broken for her (e.g. iOS connectivity as she has a Pixel 2).
