 3 beeps and a longg 4th beep sound?



Hi,

I just bought CPO 2006 525i 2 weeks back.. Lately I been hearing a " 3-time beep and a prolonged 4th beep" at random times. What is this sound? I dont see any Alert or any sign on dashboard or IDrive..

Any idea what this beep is?

Could it be the frost beep? I'm not sure about the 525i but on the e46 the car beeps when the temperature goes below 37

Nope, thats just a single beep.. I get that once in a while when outside temp +37C, it shows it on IDRIVE and dashboard too. But, the one i am referring is a 4 beep one (beep, beep, beep, beeeeeep)

It is the clock saying it is either at the 30 minute marker or the 1 hour marker.

You can tell it to stop it somehow. (yah, i'm a great big help. )

I think the "random" time is on the hour. It is the clock chime and can be turned off through the i-drive.

Ahhh that might be it.. I remember enabling it in IDrive when i bought the car.. LoL I thought it will just chime (single-time) hourly.. (4 beeps every hour? yikes, what were they thinking :P ).. Thank you
