drivers door mirror

has anyone noticed that the drivers door mirror creates a much larger 'blind spot' when turning left, than the previous E class models ?

Yes. The mirror appears to be larger and higher than the W212. It makes turning left unto a street with a median difficult to judge where the median is.

Why are are view mirrors (on all cars) different in the US/CANADA compared to Europe?
IN the US they seem to give a much smaller view.

As with many of the shortcomings of the US models (no aux heater, crippled headlights, crippled Distronic, crippled Parktronic, etc.), you can thank the US bureaucrats for it:
