I don't have a lot of experience with BSM, but it seems just about perfect to me.
No issues here either

I like that the headlights are on all the time. I wish other people, driving their gray car on alternating shadow/bright 2 lane highway would have theirs on.
I'm not as keen on a headlight assembly that is proprietary and needs to be replaced as a whole, if that is the case.
Actually, red is said to be the most difficult to see in low light and a lot of people can’t see it very well in mid light according to a study I once read (I think by insurers). White and silver are said to be the best to see in any light.
I watched this last night and had to laugh while he struggled to get the rear seat back in. Decent review overall. Motomantv has like five videos up on youtube for the 2017 CX-5. Nothing really mind blowing, but good too. I haven't checked to see if Alexonautos has released his review on the 2017 CX-5 yet, but I appreciate how thorough Alex is in his videos.
A honda with drl was turning left. His indicators were almost masked by DRL. BSM for me is good. Its good if you use indicators 99% of the time. It beeps and that's good enough. It leaves small margin of error.
Regarding color these are the worst:
Grey and dark green.
Silver is best follow ed with white.
Never heard RED was dangerous.

No, I was getting the exact wordings out of the specs of 2017 CX-5 from Mazda USA website, and the US 2017 Mazda CX-5 sales brochure also says "Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring" in the feature section.The handbook for the US 2017 model describes BSM on page 4-93 but no mention of an advanced version. You're not getting mixed up with advanced SCBS are you?
Oh no it shouldn't and that YouTube clip should be called "I don't understand how the BSM should work" and not "BSM fail". It is only intended to warn of a vehicle approaching from behind and is very smart for two reasons. As well as detecting a car in the zone it can :-
1. It can detect a vehicle that is approaching at a speed that will arrive in the detection zone within 5.5 seconds.
2. It pushes the detection zone back depending on vehicle speed.
It doesn't detect a vehicle you are passing. Why? Because it assumes quite rightly that if you hadn't been effing about with a phone, you'd have seen the bloody thing.
For a full and proper understanding, read the following.........

Agreed!Ok I appreciate your position,
but still if a car is in the blind spot regardless and it doesn't light up, to me that didn't makes sense.
In a emergency situation, you don't want to be guessing if a car is there or isn't there, just my opinion.
Also what if the car you just passed decided to speed up at the same time while it was in the detection zone, so it won't light up either?
I watched this review, very detailed but pity it was the 2.0 litre motor
