hi all.
Tried searching the forums but can't find anything.
This is my first bmw (came from Honda). Does anyone not feel the clicky feedback when turning the indicators on to left/right? The cancel is nice and clicky but that's it.
I have to look at the dash to see if I turned it on or not as I can't tell just my feel.
Hondas have a nice strong feedback on left/right and cancel.

Indicator switch on this and all BMWs using this switchgear suck. Too little movement, not enough feedback, I agree, it's just what it is, thicker gloves don't help either.

I think you just get used to it as I no longer need to check the dash.

I think "what we get used to" is the key here. When I first read this post, I thought, I have nothing to add, what the OP says is not an issue for me. Then I remember one thing: I have gotten used to the self cancelling feature of the BMW's, I bought a Kawasaki 3 months ago and I always forget to cancel the turn signal on it.
