    Rear view mirror position

    My brother will drive my e30 sometimes and he likes putting the outside top right to the top right of the rear window.

    Wondering where you guys like to position the mirror?

      I KNOW RIGHT! I had to find a mirror that has a firm adjustment bushing. I have complete poly bushings...so it loves to move. Same with my side mirrors.

        None of the above. I have mine aimed in such a way that it shows what is behind and slightly to driver's right. The outside mirrors are aimed so they see to the left and right of what the rear view mirror can't see, and I can see none of my own car in them. Basically the closest one can come to eliminating blind spots.

          You're wrong, that^ falls under the 'Rob' option.

            Top left.
            I don't even use my passenger mirror.
            I have the habit of looking over my right shoulder 99% of the time I'm making a right lane change or whatever requires to check that blindspot.

            Fishbowl cabin ftw.

            Checking my left blindspot is aided by my rearview, looking over my shoulder and/or leaning myself forward while looking at my driver's side mirror.

                  I like to see a bi of my own car in the side view mirrors so I can make quicker judgements. I have a broadway so I can see out all my blind spots

                      Centered out the back. I don't normally use my passenger side mirror because my mirrors are a bit small, even though it's adjusted perfectly to eliminate a blind spot. It's super easy to see out of an e30 vert so I normally just turn my head and look.

                            No B/C pillars or roof. I haven't had a top on since the beginning of June.
