It’s a common belief that BMW put turn signals behind a rarely purchased subscription, but this is only supported by observation.
At this point BMW should offer some classes after buying that explains what the levers hanging off the side of the steering column do. I've owned and modified numerous BMWs but there is a stereotype that the drivers don't signal, for a good reason, most of them just don't.
/s - it’s pretty much a meme that BMW drivers don’t use signal lights and mirrors
I expected better from HN commenters than these tired old tropes; this isn't Reddit. I've owned 3 BMWs now (current one is an M3 and therefore stupidly powerful and fast) and I do not speed, I yield to others and I use my turn signals; I obey the rules of the road (the highway code here in the UK). It's so tiresome to see these tedious memes being wheeled out every time.
If you feel hard done by as a BMW driver try riding a bike and see what people think of you then.
I'm also a cyclist too, so I get that.
For BMW and Audi drivers the law does not apply. /s
