The only things I want to code out in my G30 are so called safety items such as " I'm not a idiot and will look at the road instead of the nice nav screen when driving" and the very naughty "Video in Motion". Almost all of the options discussed in this thread are in iDrive already.
Seems strange that BMW in the US or EU would want to dictate the default ( and unchangeable ) settings for such petty options as to how the wing mirrors behave on lock. The ability to change these "petty" things should be just in there. Then most people wouldn't bother going off to coders and while they are at it, disabling seat belt warning or other items that (IMHO) should never be touched.
The only reason I can think of to prohibit permitting the owner to change these petty options is, some muppet someplace got a toe or something caught in the wing mirror and sued BMW NA so they now locked it out.

I live in the US and my 2019 M550ix has most of those options you mentioned listed on iDrive, but some are not hence having to "unhide" certain features. I can close my mirrors on locking with the remote which is my preference.
