    The E30 is trying to communicate...

    Last night while leaving Subway, my wife's E30 beeped loudly 3 times. I didnt't have the headlights on yet and it was dark, so I thought maybe that was why. Today, during the day, it did it again. Does anyone know what this means? It sounded like it was coming from either the speakers or from the door gong area.

            When it's below 38, the door gong chimes once. This was more of a beeping, and it was 3 times.

              Mine does that too, and I have no idea why. And it does it a lot when it's cold. And by it I mean the three beeps.

              I do recall a door chime too, but I haven't heard it in a while.

                      No jackass, I thought maybe it was because I didn't have my headlights on. I've never driven off at night without my headlights on, and that was the first thing that popped into my head.

                          When you have the OBC set to 'memo' (either the 6 or the 13 button one) the door gong will chime 3 times when it is 5 secs before the hour.
