Not that anyone would not wear a seat belt, but this reminds me of this video...

Is one ding from time to time that bad?

the only time it pisses me off is if i throw some groceries in the front seat and the pass seat causes the chime to go off for the seatbelt.

If you are asking because you dont want to wear a seatbelt, that is stupid. The only people that dont wear seatbelts are toobags that think they are cool.

I hate that ice warning, especially around this time of year it goes off several times a day as the temp goes up and down. All it ever does is scare the ish outta me thinking something else went wrong.

2nd that!!!! i always assume the worse and think my engine just spun a bearing or holed a piston or worse.....never had a car in my life that has made me as paranoid as this 545i has.....wish i could stop thinking that way, makes it hard to enjoy the car.....thankful every day that i got to work and back with nothing broken!!!

Not when you're flying down highway at 90+ mph trying to focus and you hear DING and think OMGWTF, slam on the brakes only to see that snowflake and think WHEW!
