What's wrong with the first picture in the link?

The Beemer should be undercutting the van, on the hard shoulder

Anyway you peasant, a Beemer is a Motorbike, a Bimmer is a car. 

Hmmm, just wondering what 'Set Cruise Radar to Operate in Lane 3 only' means on my dash display.

Anyone EVER seen a Beemer in lane 1? Ever?

No, it'll never work.

I think you've missed the point. The system will be able unleash loads of smoky-chipped-tractor-torque to accelerate to within millimetres of the truck at a truly impressive closing speed, then pull out at random into the middle lane within nanoseconds of collision, displaying neither indication nor consideration towards any traffic that might occupy this lane. Even the most hardened BMW driver can't achieve this level of accuracy, so it's truly an incredible step forwards.

The fact that it requires the BMW to be in the "slow" lane in the first case, and not hogging the outside lane with an ongoing phone call is a detail they haven't picked up on, of course, be these are German engineers we're talking about. they don't do the "big picture".

Indeed...   ...somebody needs to "flag that up" to them Kev.

They did'nt 70 years ago either

It appears that the BMW in the first picture IS actually using the indicator!!!    You have to look carefully though! 

The other thing that occurred to me when looking at the 3rd picture of all the gizmos in the boot is where does the LPG tank go?

It'll be the sun glinting off the orange plastic. They don't have bulbs in really.

Fixed that for you.

Pre production mule, they'll hide all that away on the customer car. Gota have room for golf clubs.

...although the "ultimate driving machine" won't need anything as cheap and nasty as lpg. "Year on year figures" "vis a ve" the owner fathoming the fill up not quite being "quality driven"

Yep.. But one day they'll have the last laugh over us.. They're holding out until someone's figured out how to convert a car to run on bull5h1t and w@nkwords....

That is such an unfair statement.   

All Bimmers are in lane 1 at some point  ..................... albeit very briefly .......... as they exit diagonally straight from lane 3 to the exit road. 
Being the superior vehicle, we are permitted to do this...... allegedly. 


Anyway, how else are we supposed to catch up on the on-board internet daily news/weather, google things, set our de-frost timers, answer calls and make outgoing calls and watch TV, if we are constantly hopping from lane 1 to lane 2 or 3.
It is sooooo much easier to multi-task from lane 3. This eliminates lane hopping and makes travelling on the motorways so much safer. This can't be a bad thing, as so many others follow our good example by following us when we are in our rightful place, lane 3.

Nice to see someone uses the correct terminology Cem.

Bimmer? Sounds like a sexual act TB's always shouting about.
