Switching On The Headlight Flasher

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 46 other vehicles, including the 2008 BMW M5, 2008 BMW 650i, 2007 BMW Z4, 2007 BMW M6, and 2007 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Headlight flasher only when the car is being driven on dipped lights.  When the main-beam assistant is active, the headlight flasher can be switched on only while the car is being driven on dipped lights. In other words, the main-beam headlights must be off. The headlight flasher cannot be switched on if the main-beam headlights are on.
