Indicator stalks fitted to BMWs....Seeing as how none of them seem to be used by Beemer drivers around by me.

Same goes for BMW mirrors too.

I like the implication that you let the dog in before Mrs Harry!

I do need that button to release the lock and use it often.

Ah fair enough - I don't have speed locking enabled so don't have this problem.

Actually speed locking - only needed if you don't want the front passenger to escape, as the rear passengers can be 'retained' with the kiddie locks. If one of my front passengers wants to escape then they are free to do so! (no I don't carry children in the front, or ever in my car as far as I can recall).

Quite right - and in the summer it has a pleasant smell of tea and cucumber sandwiches
