We had to have a new windscreen fitted to our older C3 yesterday. During fitting, the fitter was quite disparaging about the quality of the seal inside the screen. 'Typical French workmanship' was quoted. Luckily we don't have problem like this! - Click Here - |

They have narrowed the problem down to the indicators, that's why you don't see many BMW drivers using them 😇 |

Nobody should indicate when pulling left from the middle lane of the motorway. |

The BMWs with their flashers on (or indicators for a left lane change) are probably heading for the hard shoulder with broken camchains or ingested swirl flaps (hee hee). regards |

When you are on a road with more than one lane the automatic position to be in is the lane to the left, otherwise referred to as the Inside Lane - therefore once you have passed somebody you should automatically pull left, any cars behind you should expect that as a course and it ensures there are no confusion with hazard warning lights, for example. Of course if you are on a multiple lane road that has different lanes going in different directions indicatin is appropriate. When pulling back to the left on a motorway/ dual carriageway I never indicate. |

My 1996 bmw318tds owned from new and now with 139000 miles has never been on a hard shoulder in its life nor has broken down. Moreover, it has never failed an MOT. But I agree, some of our younger brethren in BMWs believe in the concept of immortality whilst being oblivious to others sharing the same tarmac. |

When I started this thread, I was trying to point out that German cars had build quality issues. I didn't actually intend that it should turn into a discussion on indicating on the motorway!!!!! | ||||

"BMW back pain" in Google gives 1,500,000 hits. "Citroen back pain" gives a mere 800,000. Can we conclude anything from that? |
