Compared to the W220 do you find the W221 mirror's to small?
I mean the tapered end of the mirror, i much prefer the 220's mirrors.Or is it something you get used to.

I do not have my S550 yet, but I find the mirrors on the S430 small enough. Hard to believe that MB, the safety inovators, would further sacrifice safety for looks, or whatever. The large door posts + smaller mirrors certainly do not help safe lane changing. Just my opinion on the subject.

I've noticed the same thing on the MLs. In 98-01, they wre pretty big (no signals integrated yet). In 02-05, they got a little smaller (signals integrated then). Then the new ones, 06-present they look smaller, although no one has done any "research" to see if they have actually gotten smaller.
