Another +1 here as well.

I did not know this before, but the instructors at the BMW Performance Center showed us this exact "trick" and I have been using it since Thursday after the PCD on my X6M and it really works.

FWIW - I also have a GL550 which does have the blind spot monitor, and I noticed myself being lazy sometimes and relying on the system too much.

Sometimes technology isn't a good thing.
