Beep, Beep , Beeeep

drvai · 10-30-2008, 04:40 PM

I have a beep in the car that goes off every one in a while. Nothing is wrong with the car and the iDrive doesn't show any errors.

The sound comes from where the headlight switch is.

Any clue?

eeeboy · 10-30-2008, 04:43 PM

Carbon Monoxide alarm?
I used to hear it too...it went away

Rick · 10-30-2008, 04:51 PM

Hour reminder beep?

southlight · 10-30-2008, 04:51 PM

Every hour on the hour?

Best regards, south

swamp2 · 10-30-2008, 05:01 PM

Low fuel as well, comes on early at 1/4 tank remaining.

JIO · 10-30-2008, 06:08 PM

Temperature below 37°? Freeze warning?

JIO · 10-30-2008, 06:09 PM

Oops...FL....not 37° warning.

M2381 · 10-30-2008, 06:11 PM

Low fuel perhaps like someone else already mentioned

Rick · 10-30-2008, 07:17 PM

Fuel warning is not a beeping sound, it's more of a chime.

drive too slow?

my money is on the hour chime

Differential diagnosis:
- Low fuel: no, because it sounds with a full tank and the low fuel alarm is a chime that also let's you know in the display panel.
- Tº below 37º? impossible. We have had 50's which is much less than the normal Tº, specially in summer.
- PDC? .... funny
- Carbon monoxide: ok... this is interesting. The manual doesn't say anything. More comments?
- Hour: seems that this is the case. Weird, because I don't remember been playing with the iDrive. Will let you know.

Thanks to all.

BRDHNTR · 11-15-2009, 08:48 PM

Oh my god. My car is doing the same thing. Very annoying. I'll say this. Not the 37 deg warning. Not low fuel. Possibly hour chime, but why did it wait until I got 23000 miles for me to start noticing it. Maybe the dealer changed some setting to make it do this as I just had it in for service.

BRDHNTR · 11-15-2009, 08:53 PM

I just looked in my iDrive and someone turned on the "hour memo" in the car's iDrive. Hopefully that will fix it.

Tio///M · 11-16-2009, 06:30 AM

CHECK YOUR "LIMIT SPEED SETTER" If you accidentally set your speed limit tone, it'll do that. Vehicle settings page and scroll done.

This will be it if you certainly hit a certain speed then the car beeps...might just be it.

My money is on it being the speed warning.

That is my guess too.

My guess is you should have got a single hump car.
