BMWs don't come with blinkers - never seen one being used.

There are persistent rumors in the greater Munich area, that there are actual people being payed by BMW to, gasp, install them. But these are just rumors and horror stories we tell our children if they don't eat their vegetables... I think...

I think they install them in their Bielefeld factory.

I had to laugh the other day when I did indeed see a BMW indicating, but they were going round a roundabout and using them incorrectly....

Don’t forget to change the blinker fluid every 9999 characters typed.

BMW driver here: what’s a blinker? I’ve never changed the fluid.
