Not really true. Having had a few convertibles with huge blind spots with the roof up, I've learned to set the mirrors to not have blind spots. Turning your head just gets you a view of the soft top. The i3 I drove had great sight lines, I can't think of any reason to want BSM. The cars I've driven with BSM are more distracting and I always turn it off quickly.
