X5 4.6is 03.....Random 3 BEEPS but nothing showing on console

[humblex5]

I'm in Vancouver as well, I heard the 3C dinging start a couple of days ago.

All is good.

can't you change the temperature setting;
so that, it will be at a colder less likely to
reach temperature?

or is that adjustment only available for top speed?

When I was driving to school before Thanksgiving break, I heard a beep, looked down and the car told me it was 37 degrees outside. Useless, but nice information.

My friend related it to "Your car is telling you it's damn cold outside"

The X5 will beep when the temp drops to 37 F or 3C...This is to alert you that the road might be icy at this temp. as soon as you start driving away! Unfortunately there is no way to de-activate this feature on the X5 even with reprogramming at the dealer. It can however be activated/deactivated on some other models like the 5 series I believe.

It's not a big deal really. I live in Houston, it never snows here

3 beeps is not a temperature warning....rather a "reminder" chime you can set through your NAV screen. go to "set-up" screen and click off the "reminder" box. not called "reminder" exactly....but something close. labeled "auto-(something)". poof. 3 beeps gone.
