They should issue a "driving tips" leaflet with the car so that us more mentally challenged people don't have to go through this learning curve. I too spent many weeks indicating left, right, left, right before I figured out that the safe option is a gentle tap in the same direction. I even went through a period of abstinence when I couldn't get the hang of it initially. (I switched off the 3 blink option in i-drive for a few weeks, then when I decided I was brave enough enough to try again I enabled it once more, and lo and behold I found the "trick" almost straight away).

Isn't it BMW drivers who are supposed to be the stereo-typical drivers that don't use thier indicators? lol
Perhaps soft touch blinkers is why....

Funnily enough on this very topic I was sent this important recall notice earlier today. A bit ironic really when we have been discussing the accidental over use of the indicators. (I had to edit out some of the words as they were a bit strong for general consumption).

What does bug me - A LOT - is that in my usual driving position the steering wheel blocks my view of the turn indicator lights and the clicking sound is very quiet, so for me it is easy to forget that they are activated.

Actually my theory is that BMW's like many luxury cars are so 'nice' to drive, fast and responsive that we swan around in them and don't always notice that we have upset someone in a nissan micra

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
The car is full of this magnetic/electro-magnetic crap that you push to pull (kinda like the genius of Windows software and Start to Stop). Just consider: the turn signals, the gas filler flap, the front ashtray cover, and perhaps more that I haven't discovered.
In my estimation: It's too tricky by half. :thumbsdown:
