I was going to comment exactly this. 135 convertible, no blind spot even with the TUV deemed "unsafely small" mirrors.
The only issue I have with sightlines in my i3 is the A pillar, its a bit thick for my liking, tough to look into corners on tight backroads.
Also as someone who drove a convertible through 5 winters in Syracuse the snow visibility argument is bunk. You just have to pay attention. I owned what amounts to one of the worst possible snow cars (RWD, big torque, convertible) and I was fine. On a side note, i'm curious as to how the i3 will do in the snow. Its unlike any other car ive driven in winter.
