BMW F10 5 Series Custom Blind Spot Mirrors
Sold as a pack of 2 for the left and right side
Today’s vehicles are becoming increasingly more complex. With each new generation comes a host of new safety features and digital driver aids. Despite all of this modern technology, one thing remains consistent over the decades; the ability to quickly and easily see around your vehicle is vitally important to safe driving. Even with new technologies like blind spot monitoring systems, nothing replaces the ability to actually see the areas surrounding your vehicle at any given moment. No matter how you position your vehicles’ side-view mirrors, by design there will always be areas you cannot see. These areas are called blind spots. A common solution are convex mirrors, which are also known as blind spot mirrors. You will see blind spot mirrors used on virtually all vehicle types, including: motorcycles, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and trucks. These products range from universal add-ons to factory integrated units. Like most products, quality and functionality can vary greatly.

“Just Set Your Mirrors Correctly”
Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
The blue circle shows the view in the factory BMW mirror when set per the SAE method
The red arrows show the added visibility in addition to proper SAE settings
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) published a paper in 1995 suggesting how side-view mirrors could be adjusted to ‘eliminate’ blind spots. The paper advocates adjusting the mirrors so far outward that the viewing angle of side-view mirrors just overlaps the cabin’s rearview mirror. This method can absolutely reduce the common blind spots; however, it also creates new blind spots when done with US market (non-aspherical) mirrors.
By moving the factory mirrors so far outward, visibility around the vehicle is reduced. Instead of eliminating blind spots, this method is actually just shifting them inward toward the vehicle. While vehicles in the traditional blind spots are more visible, parking is much more difficult. Additionally, vehicles, pedestrians, bikes and motorcycles near your vehicle can still be an invisible risk that still require turning to visually check.
No matter how you adjust your side-view mirrors, our Extended View™ blind spot mirrors are custom designed to show the entire blind spot area with clarity not found in other stick-on mirrors.
Product Highlights
Incredible Quality:
Extended View blind spot mirrors are made of real glass, premium UV resistant ABS and the strongest available genuine 3M adhesive. Unlike cheaper spotter mirrors, our custom engineered blind spot mirrors are less curved and have a crisp, low distortion view that is clearer than other after market blind spot mirrors. This provides visibility and depth perception that is usually only found in models built-in from the factory.
A useful driving aid for:
- Lane changes
- Merging into traffic and onto freeways
- Seeing bikes, motorcycles and pedestrians
- Emergency maneuvers
- Non-distorted visibility of the blind spots around your vehicle
- Parallel parking
- Maneuvering into or around tight spaces
- And more!
Far superior to universal blind spot mirrors
Universal blind spot mirrors come in various shapes, sizes and designs. Some are rimless and others are fully adjustable. Compared to our Extended View™ product line, simply put, there is no comparison. Universal blind spot mirrors are not specifically designed for your vehicle. They are generally an eyesore, which can significantly diminish the aesthetics of your BMW. Additionally, the convex curvature is often extreme, resulting in distortion and a reduction of depth perception. The vast majority of universal blind spot mirrors are made of some type of plastic with a reflective coating. The clarity this provides is less than ideal and will also break down over time.
Our Extended View™ blind spot mirrors are specially designed for your BMW vehicle. The overall shape, contour and scale are all customized based upon your factory side-view mirror. In addition, our engineers break down the viewing angle and curvature into as many as 7 planes of individual adjustment. This complex design process results in visibility that is far superior to any universal product. We use only premium quality, real glass, which further enhances clarity and provides long term durability. Once you use our Extended View™ blind spot mirrors, you will quickly see the NXTGEN difference.

Work very well
Was looking for a solution for my BMW side mirrors. Even with the recommended blind spot reduction adjustment, there is still a split second when a car approaching in the next lane disappears from the rear-view mirror, before it reappears in the side mirror - which is dangerous during any lane changes. These fit perfectly and are large enough to give a really good field of view, without blocking out the normal view with the mirror. They actually look 'factory', and testing them in traffic, work exceedingly well.

If you drive a BMW you really want these
The fitment of these blind spot mirrors is absolutely spot-on with the shape of the BMW mirror. If this part had "BMW" stamped on the back I would believe it. This pair of blind spot mirrors are of good quality and a cinch to install. Highly recommend.

Blind Spots Fixed
These mirrors came recommended in an online BMW owners group. Even in this tiny car, there are some blind spots and these mirrors are perfect for giving me a little more peace of mind when changing lanes. These fit the side mirrors perfectly and they've stayed firmly attached, even going through the automatic car wash. Would buy again!

Very useful and great fit
Easy to position and a very good fit to the mirror. Even with the optional blind spot monitoring system, I find these are super useful.
