there is a strange beep when radio is on every few minutes, does anyone know what this is?

New one to me. Sorry I don't have the answer. I would say traffic messages but I do not think you can get that stateside

Check for BMW assist or phone

Could it be the hourly chime? Check on your iDrive settings

He said every few minutes.

CJindustry, Check to see if you have Hour Memo box check in Clock settings?

Maybe a warning that idrive is getting ready to crash...

its not evey hour, its every 1 or 2 minutes, i dont have the bmw phone, and what it could be for the assist?

Ugh oh! It could be your wife is tabbing your conversation in the car J/K

It could be BMW Assist. Open BMW Assist to see if there is anything going on. Is your radio on? Turn it off to see if the beep goes away. Good luck

it could be the radio station is broadcasting something w/adult contents. so they need to beep out everything .
