Most European cars do this. It's not a glitch. It's designed to allow you to park on a narrow european road and leave the road-side light on so you don't get 'rubbed'. You initiate it by turning the signal light at a certain point. You probably did this unknowingly.

SO CORRECT. Most of European cars almost 10 years back do this.

I was about to wash the bimmer when I noticed the abnormality below. The key was out of the ignition, and the light switch was set to the OFF position. I hurried into the house and took a shot of it. It's very rare to catch her acting bad (glitches), but I got her on camera this time. It didn't turn off until I restarted the car. Has this ever happened to anyone?

Please sure any "bad acts" of your e60 with a pic if possible. Otherwise, we won't believe you. Attachment 13714

Yup, so does mine. I even used it once parking on a dark street with no curbs.

Wow if I had to choose just (there were quite a few) one I guess it would be one day when the horn was honking in rapid succession (about 6-8 times) every time I put the car in reverse?I knew the dealer would never believe me so I hung my phone out the window and recorded it a couple time?they couldn?t dispute the evidence nor could they ever replicate the problem (or fix it for that matter)
