No low ambient temperature warning
For some reason, in the last 2 weeks my 01 M5 is no longer giving me the low temp warning. The temp reading seems to be fine (car registered 36 and my outside home thermometer registered 34). No other codes, car running fine. Just no bing when it gets below 37 and then 32 I think. Thoughts?

NORMALLY, a "beep" at 37 degrees but NOT at 32.

Do any of the other "buzzers" work? (i.e., the exceed Speed Limit, the Memo) I suppose you could have blown a fuse for the sound ... but, I am not into "fuses." There is also a console test for "gong" ... you might try it to see if you can hear all of them. (NOT sure how many there are, but that's one I would check.)

Good luck, I think electrical gremlins are the absolute worst to track down ...
