My Ride: I GOT A 2007 TITANIUM GRAY/AUBURN LEATHER 545I 6SPD MANUAL. COLD WEATHER PACKAE, PREMIUM, PREMIUM SOUND LOGIC 7, SPORT.
I just drove the 2005 545i and i have noticed that once the seat belt chime is gone IT IS GONE FOR GOOD. it will not come back on, when you make a full stop like in the previous version 5's. I guess thats the Version 15.2 software.
Did anyone notice that or have that happened to them in their new Version software?

Well said DD. I know of some drivers who purchase dummy buckles just to keep the chime away. They might as well drive a car that's not as advanced.

Yes indeed....if you don't wear a belt, why not go the whole way and fill the airbag well with nails/glass etc (leaving the explosive charge)
some folk?????....not safe to be let out alone! ::-):

I'm not saying I'm not going to wear my seatbelt, BUT I feel like a baby when a car has to tell me what to do/not do etc.
To me, if they're going to impose this, why not also have the chime go of when you go over 70mph? Or how about, a chime for going over the posted speed limit (this would be easy to implement on NAV cars)?
BETTER YET....> Have the car chime at every freeking STOP LIGHT TO MAKE SURE WE DO A COMPLETE STOP!! WHERE WILL IT END!!!

With CIP 16 software, the chime goes on for about a minute before going off until the next time you start the car.
