I cant record it but I'll mimic it for you. Its sounds like this: ding...ding...ding.

Instead of the 08 dong dong

Tag · 01-24-2008, 12:56 PM

I think it's a combination of the two. Kind of a diong... diong... diong.

I love the new door chime- it does get kinda annoying when you don't put your seatbelt on though...

franciscosss · 01-24-2008, 02:05 PM

it's more bearable than my VW. my friends loved the soothing bloong sound

BK · 01-24-2008, 02:52 PM

Does it really sound like that youtube recording? That sounded like crap.

No offense. Maybe I need to listen to it on headphones at home to hear it better. It must be the speakers I'm listening on -- I can't believe I'd be the only one who would think it sounds so bad.

Yeah....my friends 645i would do that sound when he didn't buckle his seatbelt. After about 4 mins we would scream at him to put it on because it is so annoying.

I like it. Its much more hi tech sonding than a normal beep. All 08's have it.

The beginning of this video gives you a better idea of the sound...

SoYank · 01-24-2008, 04:40 PM

Too bad you can't associate .WAV files with the various functions like you can on the Macintosh and Windows. Imagine for the snowflake you could have a .WAV file of "Brrrrrr". You'd be able to have different chimes or even a voice announcing the alarm, i.e., "Baby, it's cold outside!"

How come I don't hear a door chime in my car? I don't remember seeing any setting for it either I don't think...

Firefly6 · 01-24-2008, 04:59 PM

It's like a vibraphone chord rather than a simple bing. Softer but somehow more annoying.

kpcoupe · 01-24-2008, 05:26 PM

WTF?!?!?!?! I could literally not be more pissed. I know this sounds like the biggest BS you will ever hear, but the whole reason I was about to get iDrive was for that chime. If it is really standard now, I am going to go nuts! Hopefully my dealer can give it to me through a software update or something. i inquired about this a long time ago too...http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45131.

P.S. Yes I know this sounds really stupid, but I would much have that chime than the cheap ding I have now.

Tag · 01-24-2008, 05:40 PM

I would give up my chime if someone would close this pointless thread.

You can change it to make it louder or quieter. I dont have idrive so i have to change it through the stereo, but it should be under an audio menu in idrive. Look for "gong"

That sounds exactly like mine, and I have an '06.

You have an 06, but with nav. The OP is saying that all cars get a "gong" now, where cars sans nav had a beep.

Ah. Now I understand.

attbimmer · 01-24-2008, 10:15 PM

When I saw the thread title I was hoping someone had found a way to disable the dam gong. In my last Porsche you could have one of the techs at the dealer disable the chime through the software. I never tried on my E46 and it was easy to disconnect on E30/E36. Anyone tried to get it disabled on an E9x yet?

SCTexas · 01-24-2008, 10:29 PM

My wife has an 06 and she was sooo jealous after hearing my door chime!!! After thinking about it for a secod it does soud much better than hers!!! I have an 08 and it the chime that kicks in when you get in and when you have the seatbelt off is much better than her 06.

beauderek · 01-24-2008, 10:35 PM

In the Chrysler commercial for SYNC, there is a sound that is very similar. To me it sounds pretty much the same.
