Models affected include the BMW's 2 Series Coupé, several variants of the 3 Series, 4 Series and 5 Series, the 6 Series Gran Turismo, the 7 Series saloon and the X4, X5, X6 and Z4, according to the carmaker.

Is it the blinker circuit?

So they were telling BMW drivers if they use their blinkers their car will eventually catch on fire. Now it all makes sense.

If you ever feel your job is pointless, just remember there's someone in a BMW factory installing blinkers

It’s because the peasants don’t need to know where I’m going.

My favorite part about owning a BMW is no longer having to abide by traffic laws. 🙂↕️

I like to know so I can avoid being hit.

Of course. They're used to signal the slower cars to move out of the way on the Autobahn. Excessive use of flashing headlights can get you into trouble with the police so blinkers are used.

They wouldnt bother recalling that since they'll have a max of like 5 fires (I mean, I'm sure they use the hazard lights occasionally!)

Should've paid the subscription for functional solenoid switches. Customers fault really
