I have this exact problem and my left front ndicator won't turn off, even though the key is out of the ignition

Anyone managed to sort this?

Usual suspects are a bulb out, or the indicator stalk is down (meaning you have it on "parking" mode)

OK so it fixed itself for over a week

Been using it today then just before I parked up, I get the bulb error on the dash, sure enough the front left side light won't work and the indicator bulb is stuck on again!

Typical! So now I'm left with no ignition on but the indicator bulb permanently on. I'm wondering if it will flatten the battery overnight? As I need to use it for work tomorrow morning

I am having the same issue, left indicator lights constantly also when the car is turned off. I tjecked and all bulps and Replaced one for the angel eye. But still the same issue. I also have serval lights in the dash. The one that indicates a faulty bulp, plus the tractioncontroll one. I also noticed the throttle is acting differently since this issue occured. When i take my foot off the gas, I notice there is a split second delay in the car reacting.

I will try to double check everything and make sure all bulps are correctly installed. But its very strange. Hipe someone can help.

I didn't know E85s had angel eyes.
Which generation/model had them fitted?

Actually, when this issue drained my battery and I recharged it. It took days for the triggle charger to get the battery to show charged. Could be that the battery is not working well?

Its possible these cars are extremely sensitive to weak batteries and can throw up a myriad of faults if they're past their best.. do you have date stamp on the terminals and have you checked it on a multimeter after a charge. Not saying this is your issue but its always the first place to start if you have more than one electrical gremlin

I dont have a multimeter, I will check for date stamps. Its an original bmw battery so it could be quite old i guess

As Mr T said, I would suspect the battery. My 2007 car was still on its original battery when the car seemed to become posessed last June - headlights coming on in the middle of the night was the most spooky. I changed it for a new one from Halfords (Yuasa YBX5110, £132 inc. fitting) and it solved all the electrical gremlins. Sometimes the battery will have a small, round window in it which, depending on the colour showing, will tell you if your battery needs changing.

I have the same issue with the front left indicator staying on constant and indicators flashing fast. Replaced the front side light bulbs as they were blackened. Swapped the bulbs from left to right but didn’t solve the problem.
In order to avoid a drained battery switch on/off the ignition with lights off causing the indicator to switch off.
