8 annoying beeeeeeps when starting car

so every time i start my 04 3.0 z4 i get 8 annoying beeeeeps (that's what is sounds like to me). i thought it was the inspection countdown thing so i reset that part successfully and no dice. it is still beeping every time i start the car.

i do have a warning light on the dash for lights but this was only after the day i had the hid fogs put in and parking lights changed to led. however prior to this it still beeped just not sure if it was 8 or not. i may have gained a beep or two after the lights.


seriously it is one of the most annoying sounds i hear throughout my normally peaceful week. how can i disable it, or at least turn it down some as it is really really loud...? thanks,

i usually start the car and then buckle my seat belt. so if i buckle it first then start it this will reduce or eliminate the beeps?

is there a way to just disable this?

i live in okinawa, i don't think it has been 32 or colder since the last ice age. it is over 32 celsius just about all summer long

Zee stooopid Germans have foiled me again...

who puts their seat belt on first¿ i mean don't get me wrong i always wear it while driving, but i normally put it on while pulling out of my drive or after starting the car and before moving. wow, guess i gotta completely re-program my driving habits now.

thanks, i would have never thought of that stickMon
