    anyone have the same problem with the mirror in the way ?

    when im driving and look to the left / forward the rear vision mirror is smack in the way of streets to my left front ,,
    Im only 5/11 so not super tall ,, the seats dont go down as i can see ,,,
    was thinking of removing the rear view mirror and just having the rear camera on when driving ,,,,

    I cant seem to raise the mirror up so its not in line of sight ?

    the mirror takes up a large area ,, did it need to be so big

    I an thinking that i will get one from a ford and glue that up and ditch the compass that i dont need also ,,,,

    Do you guys think it is in the way or just used to it >?

    You do sit high in these things. I have to stoop a bit to see under the roofline. I haven't noticed the mirror being in the way as I'm always looking over it.
    A bit less height in the seat would be nice. Just an inch or two.

    Agree "BIGGIN"

    just 25 to 50 mm would make so much difference ,,

    I'm 6ft 3 and honestly haven't noticed a problem with the mirror, I have electric seats though.
    I do find I do look at the headlining though.

    As the roof line of most vehicles have become lower over time, due to design changes etc., I have found that I have to bend my neck to look under the rear view mirrors. At work I drive various makes and models of vehicles and some of them you could hide a B-Double behind the "A" pillar. And then there is the difficulty of getting out of them after a several hour trip. You need to fold up like a "bunny" knife.
    Possibly why I like driving my series 3 so much.
