Re: [bmw] 1987 325 "Ding"

[Matt Brannock <matt0611@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do you have the memo button pressed on the 6-button clock? If I remember 
right,
if this button is pressed, the car will ding on the hour to remind you 
to check the top
of the hour news or something. My E30 didn't have the chime installed, 
so I don't know
for sure. That's just what I've heard.

HTH,
Matt
