They're just trying to recoup the cost of being forced to install turn signals even though their drivers don't need them.

They’re recouping the costs of hiring an in house orthodontist to fix all them buck tooth grills they made.

They’re hideous. I feel bad for all the people that were finally in a financial position to afford an M3/M4 and have to drive around that monstrosity.

Do they try to fool themselves into thinking it looks good?

What’s sad is that the motor is amazing, and the rear end and 3/4 view is beautiful. That front though instantly ruins it. It could have been an amazing car, but that front is just awful.

My running theory for Audi is they started uniquely animating their indicators so people would use them. Not because they should, but because it made them feel special. Thus reducing the stereotype before getting to BMW levels.

I'm driving BMW and use turning signals 🙈

Of course a BMW driver would be driving while commenting on the Internet.

You are absolutely right 😁

I use my left one. My right one has a fault, it needs replacing but the replacement has the same design fault. So, fuck bm in that regard.
