My Ride: 2008 550i M-Sport
Default

Two issues:
The other day I noticed that my left eyebrow light was dimmer (about 1/2) of my right one. My car is a 2008 550 with M-Tec. Anyone have any ideas on this? I am not sure where or if there is a bulb since all I see is the LED lights and connector at the top.

The other issue I have noticed recently is when I am driving home from work. I drive about 25 minutes (17 miles) half freeway and half back roads (fun). About 6 miles into the trip I get 3 beeps through the audio system, 2 short and then a long one to finish. I have no error lights anywhere. Can anyone explain this phenomenon and what I do to correct it?

Thanks,
Roger

I think you have the hour notifier on.

It will give you three beeps at the 59th minute of every hour.

Where is that? in the date and time set up menu I guess. Thanks, I will check it out. Anyone have any idea on the left front eyebrow bulb brightness?
