BMW and Indicators

Do BMW cars come with working indicators as standard?

Just that I was following one for a good 2 miles today and it never used them once at 3 roundabouts and countless junctions.

What an !!!!.

    I regularly experience the same thing!

    NOt this again...

    I drove a BMW, and I indicated constantly for 2 years. Even when I wasn't turning. Sometimes I just drove for miles with the hazards on to prove all the lights worked.

    Optional extra, like everything else on a BMW :p

    In that case he would have indicated, had Lee been visible.
  • Do fords not come with brakes??? Its just that I drove past one before that had crashed into a tree. Therefore by your logic fords must not be fitted with brakes as standard because this one driver never used them.

    They come fitted, it's just often the owners of them have no clue how to use them... Just like I find audi drivers have no concept of braking distances... as if I brake they'll be on my back seat they ride so close!

    I drive a BMW, but it's a Mini and I had to put in a new indicator bulb today as mine was worn out. So some of us do.:D
