Why would you want your Bimmer to emulate EVERY other brand out there including Jeep and Dodge?! I have always appreciated that Bimmers don’t blink when turning.

Just say NO to lazy eye headlights!

THIS! i always hate seeing others doing that. I think the Audi's looks sooooo out of place when they do that. ICK

Easy way to fix this is to not use turn signals altogether like a true BMW

It probably is doable for a pre-LCI, as the same principal could be applied as the DRL's dims on headlight activation. However, the routing of the Pre-LCI lighting system is completely different.

When I did it for the LCI, I had the car there, it took ages to work out how everything worked together and I had a lot of help from others.

The Guy Mwahab has done a lot of work on re-routing the pre-LCI light system. Maybe he could offer some advice?
