    I drove a bmw once. Their blinker sticks suck ass. Actually bad design. You had to like tap it to turn it on and then tap it again to turn it off or something dumb.

      It takes a little time to get used to but it’s ultimately the superior design. Light tap for three blinks, hard press to turn signal on, another tap in the same direction to disengage. You never accidentally click too far that other way.

        That doesn’t sound better at all. What’s wrong with the normal function. Push to turn on, and it turns off when you turn the wheel, or you pull it? If this is how BMW signals work, I don’t blame people for not using them (as much).

          It does automatically turn off after a turn, the only difference is really the second push in the same direction to turn it off. It just prevents the stalk from being pushed too far in the other direction.
