I do not believe blind spot warning is available on the OG M2 or M2C. On the BMW USA website, it's not listed in the Safety/Security specs.

My car has the lane departure and blind spot features. Are you sure you have activated them? Two buttons in the area under the light controls

You mean collision warning and lane departure. AFAIK M2C not fitted with blind spot monitoring. The empty triangles on the mirror is a carry over from the M4 mirrors production moulding.

Personally I could not believe they didn't fit the blind spot monitoring. I suspect that the BS monitoring requires extra sensors where collision and lane are part of the sensor under the mirror. Pure cost cutting imo.

Good that they don't have it.
More sensors = more point of failures = more $$$ when warranty is out Had never relied on these tech in the past. My other 1 series is already giving me sensor errors every now and then... |

So I get that the triangles aren't functional in the M2C but suppose I got the electronic module and installed it somehow... Would I be able to code it somehow (bootmod3?)
Or is that functionality not available in the 2 Series operating system? |

OMG, I wish that I never read this post! haha
I have never cared for the blind spot sensor, BUT now that I know that the triangle is there and that it doesn't function...ahhhhh! I have this OCD thing where I can't stand things like blank buttons and non-functional items. |

Yea, I guess I would be slightly annoyed by this missing blind spot feature but I believe the blank Adaptive Suspension button would tick me off more, on a daily basis..
Someone needs to do something creative with that blank switch.. |

Bump to this post. Has anyone figured out what to do with the middle, non-functioning button? At the very least, I want to put a sticker on it to satisfy my OCD. :-)
