I have OEM mirrors. I believe its more car dependent combined with how you have your seat adjusted than any other factors. I have my mirrors adjusted per BMW's Performance Centers training on my 2011 X3 and do not have a blind spot. I believe this is how the video instructed you to adjust them before he changed to the new mirror. I verify this on a regular basis and know I can see part of the car via my rear view mirror at the same time I see part of it via my side view mirror and then my peripheral vision. This is on either side of the car. It took my wife and I a bit to get adjusted to this but will never go back.

If a motorcycle is coming up along side you doing 1.5+ times your speed, you still may not see them due to the frequency of you checking your mirrors.
