i get that this is a 'rhetorical' question.. but

yes new 3 series has the usual front and rear turn signals plus sidemarkers in the front fender and its controlled by the left stalk on the steering column

i think it is possible if the car was driven while still in 'transportation' mode many things could be deactivated.. but i highly doubt any dealer would let the car off the lot without switching it out of that mode

i think the likelier explanation is the driver was a douchebag

flo.. not all new bmws have that passenger mirror tilt down.. mine does not :)
