    Wow. This is a very classic method. It's a method I used when my old TV didn't work very well when I was a kid. What's more surprising is that this method worked for my car lol. I hit it and it makes some tightening noise and it works fine. Thanks!

    This happened on my wife's 240i last week. I took the rear light cluster out to change the bulb only to discover that there isn't an indicator bulb to change! Mind you, after reinstalling the cluster the indicator now works perfectly. Must be a poor connection in there if giving it a thump sorts it out.

      Something I’ve found in my year of BMW ownership is it seems to confuse people because I use my indicators. I see it quite often when someone is sitting waiting to pull out of a junction and I’m indicating left to go into the junction they will sit there until I actually start to turn before they pull out, same at roundabouts. It’s almost if they are second guessing my indication. They must be thinking na, he’s not turning in here he must have knocked his indicator by mistake.

    Unfortunately it didn't work on my BMW M2 2018. Tried it twice. Perhaps i didnt hit it hard enough lol! I know if i go to any garage they will charge me a fortune to ground the wire. Bloody annoying when i bought the car just over a year ago with 6k miles on the clock. Such a stupid issue, should be illegal for them to get away with this and get them recalled.
