I've been a lurker on here for a while but now I need some help. My wife's 525xi is giving me a series of 3 short tones and then one long tone from the iDrive system. I don't see any indicators on anywhere and it seems to happen at random times. Any ideas on this one?
Thanks,
Ken

My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
just read a thread about this. It is the hourly chime, though there is an argument about whether it happens on the hour, a minute before, or a few seconds before. You can turn it off through the idrive.
