First of all I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!! It is everything I expected and more. It turned one month old and I just put a coat of rejex on, it looks amazing. One thing is very strange and I can't figure it out. I will be driving down the road all is normal and I will out of no where hear Beep Beep BEEEEEEEEEP. ALmost like waiting for the lights on a drag races. I can't figure out where it is coming from, anyone with any idea?

Thanks

Check if you have the hourly chime turned on. That's almost certainly it.

Bingo I bet that is it, I remember playing with idrive and seeing that and setting it. Great, thanks so much, totally forgot I did that.

Now back to more driving

First time i heard that the radio was off and i thought radio4 had turned itself on. The hourly pips. I thought it was a British thing but clearly not.
