You know its funny everyone who rides in the car thinks that bong is cool, its like a greeting and goodbye when you exit the car.

This bong gets on my nerves too! How thick do BMW think we all are that we need this???? Got it in our golf too and it scares the blazes out of me on a cold morning and you are still half asleeep and get in and ready to set off and it BONGS!!!!!

Bong! Car says its cold outside....I say yes I know, I've just came in from out there!
Bong! Car says it needs washer fluid....I say I've checked and there's plenty what the hell are you on about!
Bong! Car says it needs fuel.....I say yes I know cos the dial thingy has already told me that.
And so on!

If this can be silenced I'm going to do it

I like the chime. I like to think of it as a "bling" sound; like "Bli-i-ing! This is a BMW!" I'm actually going to record it and use it as my cell phone's text message alert.

A simple way to do it is using an old seat belt piece and sticking it in there. It doesn't know if its your seat belt are just a piece. Could be a hassle of taking it out when you really need to buckle up but I have seen people do it.
So if you ever get in an accident (God forbid) you will be glad that there was no BONG!! ..you might break a bone or two or three.... But no BONG!! And then blame the BMW for your injuries but hey there was no BONG!!

If you want to do something really funny, put on the speed limit really low so you can make it "Bong" easily, then play Doin Time by Sublime. Once someone does it, you will know why i said to try it.
