      I have another view on the subject: "if they do not know where you are going, they cannot get in your way".
      That stems from the observation that the AH will speed up and fill the space you are trying to get into when you turn your signal on. Sorry, that is my outAH response.

      UKkn0wn not to mention the turn signal and wiper stocks in my X5 and all new bmws for that matter are terrible. When you push them down or up, they return to the neutral position so you never really know what your signals or wipers are doing unless you look at the gauge cluster. Terrible design and for that reason I only signal if I know there’s someone behind me or if I’m coming up on an intersection and there’s other people there.

      It's not Christmas, so that's probably why he didn't use them to signal a lane change.
      Using Christmas lights is apparently only done on one day a year...Christmas. Which most BMW, and Corvette drivers don't drive during anyway.

    I have been a Blinker Technician for over 30 Years. I have to say, that replacing your Blinker Fluid is crucial after every 50,000 Blinks of the Blinker. I also recommend using the Synthetic Fluid, due to it can work at a greater temp, then the Standard Fluid. For more information please visit your local Blinker Technician in your local area.!
