TBH... Very beneficial, honestly.

The "Tutor" explained why he drives with his dipped beam on at ALL times, and it really does work !!!

It generally stops dicks pulling out on you and stops a lot of confusion by NOT flashing to let people out !

I've found that when a driver wants to pull out, they look at the driver... So a simple hand gesture works in that case...

It is the same principle used by bus companies !

I'll second that.

My lights are on all the time...I never flash.

If I let you out (I dont because I drive a BMW) I gesture by hand.

Thats the way it should be Gav... In the Highway Code, the flashing of headlights is a procedure to make other road-users AWARE that YOU are there, and THATS IT. B)

Especially if a French car is knocking about :lol:

There is a specific thread for the French car/Gav jokes ;)

But yes...

In the past I have flashed hello to a friend and then been cut up....

Flashing lights and horns should be kept as warnings.

But also, If you have right of way, take it, save causing confusion.

      Low Oil Pressure warning

      I have a 2010 320i Sport Automatic. 60k miles. In heavy slow moving traffic I get the low oil pressure warning light. It doesn’t happen on the motorway. The car drives perfectly. I’ve had it in at my trusted independent garage and they changed oil and filter. They found remnants of the chain guide etc but the problem has returned within a few hundred miles of driving. Because the car doesn’t go into Limp mode and drives as intended, my instinct is that it’s not causing any engine damage but it’s definitely spoiling my enjoyment of the car. I wish I could find out why it happens. Any ideas?

      Gas Exhaust Recirculation Cooler Replacement

      Morning Sam Welcome to the Forum From what I have read the warranty extension on the part is because replacement parts deliveries are so restricted, delayed. I guess BMW have to consider manufacture of cars as well as recall/replacement of faulted parts All a bit of a mess really and poor communication doesn't improve things maybe Angela Ripon's show can help Good Luck Dave

      M buttons

      Morning Connah If they are listed in www.realoem.com then you should be able to get them. If not then it is a search of the after market I don't remember seeing them separate (doesn't mean they are not out there) Good Hunting Dave

      Gas Exhaust Recirculation Cooler Replacement

      Can anyone explain why BMW are extending the warranty for 15 years on this part. They will not reply if they are manufacturering the part or when part will be available. Why 15 years Warranty? Car was recalled 2019. Trying Goverment Ombudsman for answers.

      New Owner Thoughts – 320d 2l M Sport Touring Xdrive 2019

      I couldn't agree more just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Laptops are a prime example, give me than two sodding ports!! I don't live in that dreamland where everything works flawlessly over WiFi, I'm barely on dial up speeds here! Also what is with that dreadful piano black trim? Scratches the instant you look at it, and in my opinion I think it will date really badly. All new cars seem to have it, especally the EV's. Is it cheap to produce? Still trying to learn how to use the reverse camera😁... and failing!
