It’s just BMW trying to correct their brand image, given the age old jokes about indicators being an optional extra?

I have had the latest non electric system like that fitted.
I think it cost me 7/6 from the vicar.

It is called G. W. E. N.

Very loud and also warns about everything else that I have already seen.
Won't let me produce clouds of black smoke.
Makes me take bends at a sedate pace.

Think I'm due a replacement

So does the on in the VW Tuareg, and although the lane departure warning seems somewhat pointless, its not overly intrusive. You can, of course, change the level of aggression the system delivers.
I'm leaning towards Beemer for my next car, rather than Audi
