Why does time display on dash and 3 dings when I start my X5?

Hi my 4.8is dose the same 3 dings every time i start tried everything even reseting oil change reminder still dose it any one ???????

The memo setting only beeps every hour in my x5. I don't think the beeps have to do with it if they happen whenever you start your x5.

what is the outside temperature over there? if its under 37degrees, the cluster will gong to alert you of ice on bridge forming. if you would like that coded off, i can do that for you in addition to the US parking lamps off. but most likely the MEMO function is active.

I've noticed that this doesn't happen everytime I start the X5. Happens about half the time. I can't figure out what is different though. Thoughts??? Again, current time displays on cluster along with 3 dings.

Does it happen every hour when you start the x5?

It doesn't happen every hour. Only when I start the X5. The weird part is that it does not happen every time I start it though. Happens about 50% of the time.
