Unfortunately the indicators on the D3 do not have a relay. It's all integrated into the J527 module which is attached to the steering column.

The attached image shows how it's connected electrically. E2 is the indicator switch, which connects to the J527 module.

Instructions for the removal of J527 can be found on page 246 of the following PDF, located in the D3 Tech Dump thread.

23-Service Manual Electrical system.pdf

If you have access to VCDS, a scan might show up an issue. You should also be able to run the output tests to see if the module can do them. If the module can't do a particular test e.g. left turn signal, then the module is the problem. If it can, then it might be the slip ring or the physical mechanism in the indicator lever.

First, ensure that a BMW indicator control unit hasn't been fitted.
