E30 Zone

Whenever we have a cold morning, which is pretty regular now, when I start the car up for the first time the OBC makes a beep, like the sound when you go over your pre set limit. When I look at the OBC it shows the temp.

So, what's the beep for?

mine beeps when i first turn the car on.i think it's meant to,to let you know its working i think

Its to warn you that the temp is low and that ice or frost is possible.

To quote the manual

''Automatic temperature display below +3C (35.7F). Gong sounds and unit of measurement flashes for 8 seconds.''

The most useful of all the OBC functions, IMHO!

Fantastic, thanks!

I was worried because with only getting my e30 in the summer, it's not something I've heard before, and I've already suffered the cold mornings with a flat battery, thought something else was going wrong.

Thanks again
