Blind Spot Detection System for E53

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone in here installed this Gosher Premium Blind Spot Detection System #BSDS-003016p on their E53. I am thinking to order one and install it myself. Please let me know.

Doesn't mean it hasn't but I don't recall a detection system discussed here.

I adjust the outside mirrors out to the point there is very little or no blind spot. Can only see the side of the vehicle if I lean way over each way. The rearview mirror still fills in the rest.

I've put those on every car I've ever owned. I'll probably upgrade to the aspherical ones eventually, but for $10 you can't beat those little discs.

My mirrors have a faint line 3/4 towards the outter, and that 1/4 section at the very edge fish eyes and shows the blind spot.. Don't they all have this?

BMW didn't install or make those available for X5s sold in the U.S. Many people here have bought them from ebay sellers in Europe and installed them themselves, I'm thinking of orderin a set myself.

Here's my blind spot detection system.

Turn your fuckin head and if you are really lazy spend 60 bucks on blind spot mirrors.

God are we going towards automated cars or what? We can't look behind us to back up and can't look behind and to the side to check our mirrors.

I don't find it a good idea to turn my on the tollway. Too many lanes, too many cars, going too fast, gaps change too fast and I want to be like the race drivers. Massage sounds great for long trips.
