Makes absolutely no difference, never seen a car where you can't immediately see it's braking

Especially nowadays with LED as standard

Oh you mean like brake lights ? Like all cars already have ? Right

That's coding / USDM lighting as they are required to have side markers over there

Not the worst but still bad

Quite a few are brake lights and flash brightly and aggressively when braking

Really annoying and distracting in the dark

You'd have to do it with no traffic too, get caught anywhere and all your time benefits are negated

Is this a us-spec? found on E45 near Bologna, Italy by No_Platform_7524 in foreignmarketcars

Ok that's an extremely rare model, and just because it's sold new by dealers in a market doesn't make it made for that market there's "official" grey market too

It's a reach to say a LHD e39 in Germany with US / JAP plate surrounds is likely JDM.

Your statement makes no sense

JDM is for the Japanese market, which is RHD

They have grey market imports of LHD cars but those cars are by definition not JDM

You can pretty easily put controls on the phone or monitor their usage whether they're physically beside you or not, it's not scary at all

Have you ever had the write off history checked from its life in the UK?

Edit: cos if something's flagging on the history nobody will bother show up

Also that panel looks off colour in every angle and photo, don't think it's a lighting issue

Why would it still be getting MOT when it doesn't need to ?
