Had a quick look in the tool compartment earlier and under the warning triangle I found a pictogram demonstrating how far to place the triangle behind a BMW 3 series! How odd since its an E60 :thumbsdown:

wow funny, it is actually even the previous 3er (old one)

have to check mine to and others should as well. Just wondering if this is just a "mismatch" on your car it is a common thing - cost saving thing
