My car has “BMW style” turn signals. When you flip them they don’t move to a different position. They always just flick back. And they try to just always reset themselves on both turns and lane changes. I’ve mostly gotten used to them but occasionally you get into this infuriating loop where if you change your mind about a turn or lane change and you go to flick it in the opposite direction to reset it, it thinks you want to turn in that direction. And then you do it again in the original direction trying to fix that.
Anyway it’s hella annoying. After three model years with this feature they reverted it back to the normal way. There’s an aftermarket wiring harness you can buy to retrofit your car with the older stalks.
My point is I have a little sympathy for BMW drivers since they have these stupid turn signals and it’s probably so entrenched in their loyal customers they can’t change it.
On my old 2006, you can nudge the signal arm part way (like where you would hold it to signal if you want it to go off after you release it) also by going to that position in the direction you’re already signaling. You don’t have to go past the bump and you can do it in either direction.
