Ah this again.. BMW offers an indicator subscription.. you get 10 free flashes per month, and then if you haven't bought in, it's pay per flash.. sheesh.. how is that hard to understand? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] cuntonabike@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago

Us BMW drivers do use indicators, they’re just at a wavelength that poor people can’t see.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago

Similar to your dicks then

Easy oil exchange pump. You need to stroke it left and right in order to get the old oil out of the tip of the lever.

[-] uis@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

They usually hire specially educated women

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Yes, I've also heard that women are usually much better at this job.

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 14 points 9 months ago

I currently drive a BMW and I use them. But that's because BMW driver is a state of mind and not based on the car you own. I am a Toyota driver at heart.

[-] terminhell@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

The state I currently live, Louisiana, and it seems like blinkers at all is a premium package upgrade. Hell, half the time cops don't even use them around here. The only vehicle I can reliably see use them are out of state 18 wheelers.

Was behind a driver's Ed car once, no kids, the instructor. No blinker used....

[-] jaschen@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 9 months ago

All these "Sporty" cars bros do this. Just entitled bitches that want to hurt people.

[-] Nommer@sh.itjust.works 12 points 9 months ago

Why all the hate for BMW drivers? Pickup owners should also be in this meme.

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

The meme involving pickup drivers is that they're lacking downstairs.

[-] Doublepluskirk@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Not so many pickup drivers in the rest of the world compared to the US. Plenty of BMWs though

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Come on down to Glendale, CA. You will understand.

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 1 points 9 months ago

You can't expect people to stop being tribal.

[-] lanolinoil@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Nissan drivers are the real threat

[-] mmazikinn@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

drills hole in exhaust

grrr I'm a race car

[-] lanolinoil@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

only 2 positions for the accelerator pedal

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 10 points 9 months ago

I wish that problem was confined to BMW, it's common enough to happen even with popular car drivers 'round these parts.

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

In my experience Audi drivers are the worst. Whenever I see an idiot on the road there's always an Audi driver trying to out-idiot them right behind.

[-] jagungal@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I know a guy like this. He's a great guy, very competent, gives up his time for his community. Drives his Audi like a cunt though.

[-] EffortlessEffluvium@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago

There must be a whole bunch of “temporarily embarrassed” BMW owners, then…

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

if you ever think your job is pointless just remember there is someone who installs the turn signal system in BMWs

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago
[-] Cuberoot@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 9 months ago

I tried sliding the control rod in and out of the steering column, but nothing happened. I think it's stuck.

[-] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I actually did that when I was a kid trying to understand those mysterious car sticks my dad slapped with incredible confidence while driving.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

"I can't read it, because it's literally blinding me right now, what is that, some kind of LED projector inside?"

[-] random_character_a@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I resently switched from Toyota to Volkswagen. My signaling lowered by about 30%.

Here and there I just notice that I did it again.

[-] xoagray@pawb.social 5 points 9 months ago

This works for people in the state of Florida too.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 4 points 9 months ago

I'd like to think that this is because BMW drivers are Orcs.

[-] uis@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

No, that would be Lexus.

[-] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Story Time:

My brother once gave me a ride home from work, back before I could drive. He had a Mercedes. Not only was he drinking beer while driving, he refused to use his indicators/blinkers

When I asked him why he didn't signal to other drivers, he said with a smirk "They didn't come with this model" and proceeded to finish his can of beer.

[-] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago
[-] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

No he works on a billionaire's yacht as an engineer. Maybe some day though lol

[-] drathvedro@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Do yachts have blinkers though?

[-] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

They don't. But if they did, I doubt they'd see much use

[-] drathvedro@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

I checked, and it seems like they use horn signaling instead

I'll should start using those on my BMW...

[-] pewpew@feddit.it 1 points 9 months ago
[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Italy doesn't count. They have... Their own way of doing things.
