If you're willing to take on another project, how about the following:
If your Mini is equipped with the rain sensing wipers, then have it automatically close the convertible top and/or sunroof and all the windows if it senses rain (when the Mini is turned off).
Wouldn't that be an awesome feature. Probably a bit more difficult than the others mods that you offer I would guess.

Took the liberty of contacting KPTechnologies. This is the response I got:
"We did in fact make a module to fold the mirrors in, but because of the OEM electronics setup our module was not “perfect”. It was set up to pulse the mirror fold wire when you shut the car off and when the ignition is turned back on, but because there aren’t separate “fold” and “unfold” signals in the car (the mirrors just always toggle their state) sometimes the mirrors would get reversed. Also, we found that mirrors didn’t always complete their cycle (either with the switch or with the module). This caused issues as well as it caused the OEM electronics to not know which direction to travel on the next pulse."

Bummer...
I wonder if they ever thought of just adding a relay from the door lock to the folding mirror circuit. it's all located in the drivers door so when you lock the doors the mirrors fold and when you unlock the mirrors unfold.
Could that work?
