It would seem that they are - as I said, on the e92 they were linked to outside temperature, wiper frequency and whether the HRW was on or not. Even then, they had three stages of heating.

It would be hard to imagine that they would take a backward step and this morning when it was noticeably colder, the mirrors are toasty hot.

When the handbook says "the mirrors are heated automatically whenever the engine is running" that is true, it just depends on how one interprets it. I took it to mean the heaters were on permanently but it means the heaters will be on as necessary, i.e. automatically.

Anyway, problem solved
