We normally don't have the homelink feature due to the frequency differences in our country however you used to be able to buy a module that sat between the door opener and the homelink that does allow a retrofit of the mirror.

Usually the mirrors are made by gentex and assume BMW use them also.

If u are the DIY type then u could always open the remote solder a remote switch to it and route to a unused port on the dash etc

Not exactly what you're after but check out https://flashtoopen.com
I used this on my previous car and it was pretty simple to install.

What do you mean?? Pull back twice on the left stalk, and warn a brother of speed cameras and police!
I can do it in the M2 and every other BMW (and car) I've driven.
Perhaps I've misunderstood what you've said.

Ok maybe semantics. Pulling twice (the light stalk - clarifying just in case ) is turning the lights on then off. Older cars a half pull for a flash.

I just seem to remember in my 135i with high beam assist a single pull turned on the assist with no light until it calculated to do so and an A would illuminate on the dash. When it was dark or no on coming cars then the high beams would turn on. Ie: I couldn't flash someone.

That was my experience however happy to be corrected.

BTW nfi if the M2 has high beam assist
