A review of NxTGEN blind spot mirrors designed for BMW
I just completed a review of the NxTGEN blind spot mirrors designed for our BMWs. In a word they are brilliant
NxTGEN mirrors are significantly different from other after market blind spot mirrors in several ways: -they are specifically made for our BMWs and shaped to match the contours of our OEM mirrors -they are made of real glass -the scale, ratio and curvature of the glass is researched and designed to provide an ultra-clear continuous image despite being actually a combination of nine planes refined to capture all of the blind zone I conducted pre and post NxTGEN mirror tests of the normal blind zones with my mirrors set to the recommended SAE settings. I was amazed at how much more you could see in the driver side, which IMO, eliminated all of the blind zone. For my full review please see https://insight.daumphotography.com/...-spot-mirrors/

Great review! I have had their upper ones on our i3 for about 2 years and the lower ones on our X3 for a few weeks. They both took a little getting used to at first. I would keep making little adjustments until I found the perfect position, and I probably hit memory 1 to relearn the position about 20 times the first week
Now I could not image driving without them. I look in the drivers one more than any other mirror during regular driving. I have had a few issues on the road when I needed to move over and make a split second move to avoid damaging my car or being in an accident. If I have one place to look, that's the spot, because it is clear enough to see what is actually going on (unlike most stick on mirrors). And I can see a similar amount as both the usual side mirror and the rear mirror all in one area.
