Pretty sure signal lights are a subscription option, and nobody that drives a Beemer has subscribed.

If you ever feel like your just a cog spinning endlessly in a machine with no real purpose in your career, remember that there is a man in Germany who has a job installing turn signals on BMWs.

Ironically the BMWs here in Germany tend to use their signals in my experience

Might be, but the majority of drivers is constantly ignoring safety distance and trying to butt-fuck me on the Autobahn. I used to like BMW when I was younger, but I decided I will never buy that brand because I don't want to be associated with the majority narcissistic assholes group that is BMW drivers.

Maybe it's not trickled down yet but I can assure you the Tesla drivers are now the worst in the UK. It was Audi.
