Default Beeping?

Ok guys I have finally remembered to ask the "brain trust" here about the beeps I get everyday after a short time of driving. I get a "beep, beep ,beep, beeeep" and that is all. What is it and what is it's purpose?

That is your chime you hear on the hour, every hour. There is a setting in iDrive to turn on or off.

Thanks.

It is not annoying I just wanted to know and next time I hear it I will look at the clock to verify.

I think its from a false indication from front pdc sensors or other parking sensor issues.
