Four chimes

[Streetstalker]

Hello all. I'm new to the forum and currently picked up a 06. 330i.
I was wondering if anyone could help me at all. After I begin driving car about 5 min later I get an audible beep tht chimes 4 times but there is no I indication on idrive or dash what it is for?

Any ideas?
Service reminder perhaps?

Next time it happens look to see what time it is. Sounds stupid but, there is a setting the idrive to remind you at the top of the hour and I think its four chimes.

As soon as you see the steering wheel lock malfunction icon, get the the dealer asap, had to tow mine in last week after it died completely

my thoughts on the chime
-the outside temperature is below freezing
-fuel level is low

I'll go camera phone the menu I found it under in the idrive on brake and try to get it up loaded here.

Most likely the hour memo. It's four beeps (three equal short ones, and one longer beep) just to remind you that it's the top of the hour.

Yeah that sounds like it 3 short 1 long. Thanks! I'll take a look.
