I've just bought my first E30, it's an F reg 325i - very nice. I've had it now for a week or two. last night when I jumped in it to start it up everything worked fine, but there is now an audioable ping when I turn the ignition before the engine fires up.
I'm guessing this is a warning sign, but for what?
What's the ping

ICE! 
Not a sign that there's anything wrong with the car, just that there might rather suddenly be, if you aren't careful!

Whats the temperature been? On most e30's when the temperature reaches below 34degrees Farenheit(Im american, so no C), there is an audible ding. Other than that I wouldn't know what to tell you?
