BMW Left Turn Signal/MINI Right Turn Signal?

e92law · 12-10-2007, 11:38 AM

I was driving through some canyons this weekend and an error message popped up on the screen, “Malfunction Left Side Turn Signal,” then “Malfunction Right Side Turn Signal.” I went through the menu to read more and for the left side it said “drive to your nearest BMW dealer for service,” but for the right side it said “drive to your nearest MINI dealer for service.” ???? Don’t you just love modern technology?

Thats pretty funny

It would only make sense to re-use the code since it's within the same company.

My old VW Passat said "Boot Ajar" when the trunk was open. I guess they figured one English translation was fine for all English speaking countries.
