When the turn signal handle, in the car, is in the center position the right turn signals flash and no turn signals should flash. What could be the problem?

Question -
1999, 323i. I have a BMW that the turn signals in thr center position of the turn signal handle always flash on the right side and won't stop. All lights flash so the bulbs are good.What could be wrong? I need an answer ASAP.

Answer -
The question is confusing,could you reword it?

Answer -
Sounds like a bad directional switch,

Answer
The turn signal operates both left and right sides there isn't two switches.When it is flashing quickly either front or rear most times there would be a bulb out or a dirty ground on the contacts.But when they run all the time, being in the center I would look at the switch.
