X5 display shows Ext. Temp 37 degrees
Lately on these cold mornings about 1-2 minutes after I start up, I will hear an audible "ding" "ding" "ding" and the display will show the external temp to be 37 degrees. This message disappears after 10 seconds or so. After going through the menus on my Nav screen and my manual I can't figure out how to shut this off. Anyone have any ideas?

My first bimmer over 20 years ago had that feature and every BMW since then has had it. It warns you of frozen roads.

This is my first BMW so I was not aware of the feature. I must have overlooked it when I referred to the manual. It is somewhat annoying so I am surprised to find out that its a feature that can't be deactivated. Thanks for the input.

I'm almost certain you can deactivate it, although you may need to do so at the stealership. I think it says that in the manual?
 The best is when it's so cold that the pixels in the display take a minute or so to change just to display that message. Then, and only then, do you know it's really cold!

I agree. It would take a special level of road and conditions unawareness to not know that its cold enough to potentially form ice. I doubt that anyones first clue would be that dinging noise and temp alert.

My two cents. I like the feature. It calls my attention to a possible road hazzard, and I thank the engineers for including it. What I am less happy about is the 'fasten seatbelt' noise. All right...if I do not fasten MY seatbelt, the reminder is enforcing safety, regardless of my preferences. But...the warning goes off when I have my briefcase on the seat next to me. Must be a weight sensor, set to some irrational weight, like 4 pounds!
