If he was flashing constantly, he probably had headlight modulators fitted. They are a big safety item used by U.S. motorcyclists.
Never heard of them being fitted to a car though...

was kind of the way garda cars lights would flash i actually thought it was an unmarked car when i 1st saw them flashing ,but then when he went passed it was just a bmw

maybe hes had those installed to give that effect so he can breeze through traffic .hmmmmm

Are you sure it was a BMW and not a Merc?

I had a Merc behind me a few weeks back that was flashing, but I think it was just a p1ss poor, self fit Xenon conversion. He was behing me in stopped traffic, Northbound at Blanch around 18.00 - any relation to your time?

I was thinking WTF??!! when he flashed me, but eventually when traffic cleared and I was carried on along the outside lane, they were still randomley flashing with no one in front of him. Sometimes both headlights, sometimes one.

It was either a dark blue or black C-Class from around 2000 - 2002.
