So why is it that 75% of BMWs have faulty indicators?


Like Ge says, it may be a case of looking for it, but I'm willing to bet that 50% of the cars I see during a week NOT indicating would be a BMW.
I have had 3 bmw's , all 3 series. I always used my indicators but I did drive like a dick sometimes to keep the image up

So you honestly beleive 75% of beemer drivers dont indicate?
I beleive 75% of s2000 owners have a chip on their shoulder about BMW owners.
From my experience I have found that quite a few elderly people dont indicate, quite recently I have had a few occassions where I was about to lean on the horn and seen it was an old person and have held back. I have also seen a number of smokers who dont indicate as they are too busy trying to squeeze their dirty fag butts out the window and cant indicate at the same time.

i will be honset when we had a band new BMW NO ONE would let you out a junction , give way to you , or 'let you in' everyone thought you had a new bmw and were ' fair game ' really annoyed me as it makes you aggressive when you drive - thus you pull out quickly in junctions and off lights etc to get a flipping space !

This is my theory why they dont indicate, Tom. The thinking being if the guy behind me sees me indicate he's going to close the gap so I can't pull out. ... so I'll just use the gap without indicating.
Make a scary kind of sense
