The dashboard turn signal indicators are blocked by the steering wheel unless I adjust the steering wheel to a very high position that makes driving unsafe. When the turn signals are on, there is no clicking noise like many cars have. I suggest that BMW update the vehicle software to allow the driver to adjust the location of the turn signal indicators within the digital dash display, or also include turn signal indicators in the heads-up display.

Traffic was very heavy, and although there were no injuries or collisons with other vehicles, the loss of control was…

After arriving at my destination in Winterhaven, CA, I later saw that I had two missed calls from BMW Roadside…
