I love that sound, because it really makes me wear the seatbelt.
I haven't done that in my previous non-BMW's.
You know what?
I think I'm counting the chime in my car later today.

so I don't really hear all the chimes.

Don't get me wrong, I DO wear my seatbelt when driving further than 5 miles. But I live in a small town, and I am definitely not gonna wear my seatbelt when driving at 20mph to the shop a block away!

Oh and I can just bet that you guys that so diligently wear your seatbelts, also drive EXACTLY at the prescribed speed limit for your own safety!

My seatbelt alarm chimes exactly 37 times before going silent. Anyone know why BMW would decide on such an odd number of chimes? Why not make it 30 or 40?
PS: I had it "silenced" by my service agent...
