Tired of being reminded it's 37 degrees outside?
 
Any way to turn this warning off in the '11 X5? I can pretty much tell it's really cold out there.

With this reminder the car starts heating the outside mirrors as well. So it's not just a cold weather alert.

My 02 does this same thing.

That's been around for years... :( I wish I could turn it off in my 2008 X5!!!!

In this day and age, I can't believe that someone hasn't written software to hack the BMW software to turn things like this off. Maybe there's not the market for it or maybe it's BMW has made it too difficult. When you see how guys jailbreak iOS (iPhone) releases, you have to think the capability exists...

I think it's useful- in rural areas, temps can vary and change within a few km. There might be ice that forms in shaded areas even though the outside temp is 3°C.

Not sure when BMW started doing it but my '89 325i had the alert too, it was just a little more primitive than the snowflake graphic.

i'm just pretty much F'n sick of cold weather. it was 61 degrees yesterday, high of 38 for tomorrow. our average temp for december was easily 15-18 degrees below normal.

time to move further Southernly. :yikes:

:iagree::iagree::iagree: I find it is useful reminder of potential black ice... My wife knows about it, too!

Don't you think 32* would be a better heads up?
