Quick question regarding red lights at a stop sign. Can we turn right on a red light after making a complete stop? Obviously, they don't have a no turn on red sign like we do back home. (Or do they) Some people beep at me and some don't lol. Bunch of impatient Germans lol. There are times when I think some roads a one way due to people parking in the same direction on both lanes and Bam! Coming head on with another car lol. I just shrug it off and give a peace sign. And don't get me started on freaking bus lanes.. impossible to know especially when it's pissing rain out. Sorry, just venting.. I miss the states.

NO right turn on RED in Germany! Unless...
Quote:
NO! In Germany, there is NO right turn on Red. The only caveat is in some cities... the traffic light MIGHT have a green RIGHT turn light. And at some t-lights... you will see a metal green RIGHT arrow sign attached to the t-light. This means you MAY turn right on RED after stopping. But these signs are really rare. In General there is NO right turn on RED! Even Germans don't really understand the metal green arrow on a red light. Many people think they don't need to come to a full stop. They DO! That's what this white sign says under the GREEN arrow. Quote:
Also in Munich... most tunnels have speed cameras. Some of the latest versions don't even flash when they "catch" you. You just get the "bill" in the post a few weeks later. One other thing about traffic lights... in the evenings after say 9pm most traffic lights will switch OFF. Then for traffic that has "the right of way" their side will see that the intersection light is OFF. For the cars coming from the side streets... they will have a FLASHING YELLOW! This means they must YIELD(and or Stop!) if traffic is coming from the main road. This is not how it works in the USA! Take note!! Dackel

Hey guys! Updated the latest list on the front page! Once again, anyone posting individual dates without copying the latest list is not being added manually by me. Follow the rules and copy/paste the list with you included!
On another note, the wait after ED is a killer but finally on a boat today! WOOHOO! Just making sure, the posting of peoples ED trips in here, alright with everyone? Seems kind of off topic but as long as people are alright with it, I have nothing against it! Just want to make sure you guys are good! |

Congrats on the F8X, I'll be picking up my F83 about 2 months prior to you. I'll likely be doing PCD about the same time you pick up yours in Munich. |

I'm at the lounge right now. There's also a TB on Silverstone F80 taking delivery- looks awesome. Mine's on the left - kind of tough to see. I'll post another photo when I can.

I'm back at the Bmw welt lounge, had some problems with my navi and its asking for a code. Hope they can fix it l.
PS. No I did not remove the USB drive, car was fine when I took it for a drive this am until I stopped at a rest spot In the highway . then it started asking for a code. PPS. if this happens to anyone try holding the idrive button+radio mute/power button+eject cd until the idirive restarts. Or get out of the car, lock it and wait about 10 minutes (this last one fixed mine) Last edited by lore2486; 09-05-2015 at 09:13 PM.. |

Enjoy the F83, it should be a fun step up from the E93. If you see Brian, tell him that Larry says "what's up, beotch". |
