The other night i was behind a car in slow moving traffic and the rear window brake light went the full width of the window,the car in question was an Audi A7 and it being an auto which meant a red glow every few seconds when he braked.

Bit overkill imho.see piccie.

I guess it was just a similar example.

Sorry,though they do look similar and the brake lights on the BMW & AUDI are both still annoying.

I think the Bently CGT was one of the first to do this. Looks awful IMO.

ETA: On the whole though the 6 series GC is a lovely looking thing!

I think they're great. In motorway traffic or other situations when obvious brake lights are good.

Not great when sitting behind one at the lights.

That looks very tacky. Like a Halfords strip of LEDs.

If drivers applied their handbrakes while stationery at the lights these things wouldn't be so annoying.
