therock Supersonic August 2, 2018 Share August 2, 2018 I did a search, yep! No similar thread, and I also searched on which car brands had this issue and you will be surprised! https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=why+bmw+drivers+don%27t+use+indicators&oq=why+bmw+drivers&aqs=chrome.2.0j69i57j0l4.4465j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Of the 20 top brands I looked, BMW outnumbers the rest by far? So are there a unique breed, which gravitate to them? Psychologically speaking, there are such syndromes, eg back in the 80-90s, there was a "Honda Driver Syndrome", and insurance companies used to load these drivers since they were more likely to take risks and such.. So here goes, are there reasons for this style of driving? Oh and some pics to accompany the story.. (caveat, all in jest bros, will still have kopi with my BMW friends ) ↡ Advertisement 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury1 Turbocharged August 2, 2018 Share August 2, 2018 I tried to use the indicator but the stalk broke, PML said it was for display only real one need to indent 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason016 Supersonic August 2, 2018 Share August 2, 2018 I tried to use the indicator but the stalk broke, PML said it was for display only real one need to indent Heard its an option more expensive than park assist plus. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic August 2, 2018 Share August 2, 2018 Whenever I go PML to test drive, I always see these... Cannot be that the BMWs don't come with the indicator stalks.... So.....my conclusion is that it probably needs to be coded to activate it? Just like the auto start stop default off coding? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegasi 4th Gear August 2, 2018 Share August 2, 2018 my previous car was a e90 320i, no problem with signalling more problem with frequent visits to workshop 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECONOMIC 4th Gear August 2, 2018 Share August 2, 2018 MCQ: A) Because they generally don't give way when they see someone else signal. They would imagine likewise that if they signal, others won't give way. Hence, they don't signal. B) Because they are too fast. By the time the signal comes on, they would have already turned ages ago. C) Because they have full situation awareness. Others need not be aware of their movement. D) Because they themselves would not know if they would change course in the next moments. Yes I am too free, sitting in a big meeting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
