lol I came upon a BMW that clearly had just missed his turn (he slowed down, realized it was too late to make the turn, then sped up again), then turned on his turn signal to pull into someone's driveway to turn around.

I said to my wife, "This BMW driver is so lost, they're using their turn signal!"

Why are BMW owners all the exact fucking same worldwide?

[–] Tobberone@lemm.ee 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's because BMW doesn't top up the indicator fluid as standard during service.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

If you pay extra for the service, they will disable the lights for you.

This is the way!

That means your car's politics have shifted too far to the left. Schedule an appointment with the dealer to have it recentered.

[–] DmMacniel 4 points 2 days ago

Damn that cursed left shift!!

"nevermind, it's fine, it turned off by itself when I made a right-hand turn"

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 days ago

Drain your blinker fluid

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Don't worry, it'll be fine in 0.5s.

Oh no, it's back!

Never mind, it's fine.

Wait no!

That's NASCAR mode. You hit the gas and just keep going left.

But if you don't signal, how will the commoners know to make way?

[–] thericofactor@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The blinkers should just engage the headlights blinking in a BMW.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I thought that's how BMWs already worked.

"Don't rightly care if they do."

[–] Chaos0f7ife@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Hmmm. I think it means somethings wrong with your speedometer. I mean it's pointing directly at it.

[–] locahosr443@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It's pointing at 100 which is the minimum speed the car expects to be doing.

Really it's just a gentle reminder if you're not driving it right

[–] odium@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think it means your speedometer is displaying double your actual speed. So you can go at a speed that the speedometer says is twice the speed limit, and you'll actually be going at the speed limit.

Hope that helps 👍

I followed your advice, now I'm sitting in jail. What did I do wrong?

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

In my experience an unexpected light on your dashboard is about $1000 minimum at the dealership. I fear for the owner.

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 2 points 2 days ago

Take it to a service center immediately. Thats not normal. Your car is at risk of becoming a different car

[–] QaspR@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Shit man, you gotta get that checked out. This is the "honk at me" feature. It means your car has detected that you're an idiot and everyone will start honking at you and passing you on the right.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech 1 points 2 days ago

Do you also hear a ticking sound? If so, the car just entered a SUICIDE BOMBING MODE. It's on a timer to let you escape; follow the arrow for the nearest exit.

[–] fin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That arrow means you meed to accelerate to 100km/h

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 2 days ago

How, if you are already going over that speed constantly?

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pray tell for what reason are you asking OP this?

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because older people tend to flip it on and leave it on with no intention to change lanes or turn anywhere
