Blind Spot/Side Mirrors?

How is the blind spot monitoring system and side view mirrors on the W205? I commute in a very large city, requiring a lot of quick passing on the highway and was wondering how people in similar situations like the blind spot monitor/side view mirrors.

I currently have a 2014 Accord and a great feature is the blind spot monitoring which is actually a live video view of your right blindspot, completely eliminating it.

If you adjust your outside mirrors properly you won't have any blind spots. To adjust the left side put your head close to the driver side window and adjust the mirror so you just barely see the left side of the car. To adjust the right side, move your head towards the center of the car and adjust the right side mirror so you just barely see the right side of the car.

It takes awhile to get used to it (if you previously liked watching the side of your car in your mirrors). Between all three mirrors there will be no blind spots...add in the monitor and your good to go!

Oh...you'll know it's working when you see a vehicle in your rear view mirror, and then pick it up in your side mirror as you pass it or it passes you.
