Man sounds like you have "self destruct" mode enabled!

If you have IDrive, it might be the hour minder
I remember the dealer activated it when they installed a new software program and it took me a couple of days figuring it out.

Hour chime. We see this exact question from time to time. Some of the below threads say how to turn it off, if you can't figure it out.

But it can be, if it's on the hour and just seems random.

I've read threads about the hourly chime, but have never found in i-drive where this is activated. But, I would not want it activated....

In the iDrive select the i menu (center). Select Display settings. Turn the knob until Time appears and press the knob. There should be three lines, sest time, Time format, and a check box labeled Hour memo. Select or deselect the check box by turning the knob until the line is highlighted and pressing the knob.

Are you suggesting that time is linear?

I'm going to report you to Stephen Hawkings!

Actually, my response was a half-hearted joke. However...
