its an awful lot of effort to change something thats not wrong, the buttons are orange and i accept that like i accept the indicators to be orange and the brakes being red, its just the convention not even citroen tried to change this

Oh no, there's nothing wrong with it of course, it's just a question of personal taste. That, and I turned my instruments and clock blue and the orange switches kinda clashed ^_^

However id be willing to say that the bmw i drive would have an option as stupid as changing the colour of the switches and dials in its collection of options the driver doesnt really need

i dont think so but bmw probably has an option to change the sound of the indicator, and being the idrive it would let you change the sound to something annoying and then not let you find the option to change it back

They just need to upgrade BMW drivers with the will to use the indicators.

Also, the new "don't drive like a total idiot" module for BMW drivers has been postponed once again.

Seriously, out of the last 20 or 30 times where some idiot has nearly killed me on a roundabout because they have no idea how to drive on one, it's been a BMW. What's with that?

A couple of weeks ago a Mr. Bell, wrote to the local newspaper complaining he'd recieved a parking ticket
The reason for getting this was that he was taking up 2 parking spaces.
Mr Bell's defence was as an owner of a £35000 car, he didn't want the chav population of Hinckley scratching his car, and as said owner of a BMW at that price, he should be perfectly entitled to do so.

Well......Needless to say, the local paper was full of letters the following week, saying mr bell shouldn't come into Hinckley the following week otherwise he'd likely to find his prize BMW vandalised
Whilst I can't condone this behavoir, I think he's totally brought it on to himself :lol: :lol:

I guess this personifies your average BMW driver :lol: :lol:

My brother in law has an M3 and whilst I doubt he'd drive in a poor manner, he has been advised that taking his wife's car up the town is probably a better alternative for a few weeks :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

what is it about audi/bmw drivers that they feel compelled to tailgaite, and they all seem to be very smokey if they do overtake, but yet merc and lexus drivers are not as bad.
