So, I'm driving last night in Fort Lauderdale and all of a sudden I hear a chime and then a yellow snowflake appears just above where my outside temp shows up in the instrument cluster. All I know is it was a cold 37 F degrees (YES - Miami area was FREEZING yesterday) and I had my heat on. What did the chime and snowflake mean? At first I thought it meant - "ya buddy, it's could out, be careful!"

Thanks - I thought it meant something along those lines. Man... I'm truly happy I got my car. I learn something new all the time and can't believe how much thought BMW puts into their vehicles.

Download a copy of the owners manual from the information section of the forum - it's a lot easier to search for answers on a PC/MAC than reading through the paper version!
