Silly one this I know, but, can the indicator speed be slowed at all?!

Its so quick, it feels like a bulb is out! Or is this just how they are?

Are you sure a bulb isn't out?

Yeah, it was a slight exaggeration, but, they are noticeably quicker than my 2016 Golf, and various other vehicles.

Have you got any LED lamps in place of filament lamps?  If so then you may have a resistance issue that means the electronic flash control runs faster.  LEDs are lower resistance and that can cause a rate cycling issue but not enough to trigger a bulb out warning.

I like where X5Sport is going - something is definitely wrong. My indicators blink at the "usual" speed.
