Blind Spot Mirrors

[dblcrona]

I realized that the Z4 has blind spots when I'm switching lanes on the highway. I've never been a fan of the look of the universal Pep Boys stick on blind spot mirrors so I'm wondering if anyone makes a Z4 blind spot mirror that is shaped to match the contour of the stock side mirrors. I want something that looks like it was a factory option. Any ideas???

Not cheap, but available:https://www.ecstuning.com/News/BMW_Z4_BlindSpotMirrors/

BMW made them and fitted them to some European models

I ran them on my Z4 for a bit when I had it. Didn't love them. A current car of mine has them as well and I don't like them tbh. The aspheric area isn't large enough to provide the aspheric contour needed to provide substantial increased viewing range. All it really seemed to do was give me another foot or two of vision range - I was expecting another lane visible at the minimum

I did see those but don't want to spend that much.

When I took delivery of my BMW at the Greer, SC Delivery Center, the driving instructor showed us how to set the mirrors to almost eliminate the blind spot: On the driver's side put your head against the window and adjust the mirror out until you just barely see the corner of the car, do the same for the passenger mirror by leaning over that way. When set you shouldn't be able to see the corners of the car. A car behind you is visible in the rear view mirror and when it pulls up beside you in the blind spot it will be readily visible.

Great tip! Thanks a lot. I will try that.

Found this in my travels:

Can't speak to the quality or to the website. I did order some microfiber towels from the site and I am waiting for those now.
