True. But in my BMW, at least they fold in together. In my Audis, there is a slight difference in how the driver’s side and passenger side ORVMs fold in too. The driver’s side is a few milliseconds slower to come to a stop compared to the passenger side and that used to trigger my OCD till I learnt to ignore it.

Still bothers me that its not the same on both sides.
Once you notice it, it’s very hard to unsee it.
