Welcome to the club!  Sounds like you're going to enjoy your iS - they're great cars.

No power to the turn signals seems like a fuse to me.  Check the fuse itself for a hairline crack, and be sure the contacts inside the fusebox aren't burned or damaged.  Occasionally the fusebox itself will melt a bit, causing some issues.

Do you have the electrical troubleshooting manual yet?  BMW wrote it up for mechanics - it makes troubleshooting very easy.
