Ah, so nobody ever showed you how to setup your mirrors correctly.

Properly adjusted mirrors will eliminate the "blind spot."
It sucks for us here, but the side view mirrors on Euro-spec X3s are actually more convex than those available in the states. There is a DIY aftermarket thread about how to order and install these better mirrors. We don't get them here because of regulations regarding distortion and depth perception, but for those of you who don't struggle with dimension, take a look at the thread. I'd post it here, but I'm on my phone.
