Most people I see in BMW's use their blinkers... is this true on this forum?

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
My wife thought it was funny when I used the blinker to move my car from one side of the driveway to the other. It's second nature with me..

it takes no extra effort whatsoever. i brush the lever with my hand while changing lanes, now with the 3 blinker feature it is even easier. one thing i dislike is that the turn signal indicators are out of my line of sight, i actually have to lean forward to see if my signal is on.

Why don't you adjust your steering wheel so you can see the blinker indicator WITHOUT leaning forward?

For me...I adust my seat for the most comfortable driving position. If I were to adjust the seat to be able to see the blinker indicators, my drving positon would be all screwed up. It's not a big deal for me, but it is an annoyance.

My Ride: 2006 Titanium Silver 550i, with all the bells and whistles!!
I caught myself signalling around a sharp 90 degree bend in the road the other day 
ooops, I guess that is why it is called muscle memory!

I use my signals all the time - the sad thing is when you signal to change lanes and the jerk in the next lane speeds up so as not to let you in once he sees your signal......
