R56 Snow Flake Symbol??

Snow Flake Symbol??
I just had my 07 MCS for 2 months! It is soooo much fun to drive!
However lately I always see a symbol on my dash board screen, it is a little snow flake within a triangle. I observed several times and that symbol always on for a minute when the outside temperature reaches 37 F. I tried to find this in the user manual but couldn't, does anyone know more about this? Thanks!!!

Conservative? I would have been inclined to agree with this, but here in Germany two days ago my frost warning light came on for the first time in weeks, and after driving 5 or so km the temperature went up to 40 degress. When I got to work I found out a friend of mine flipped his truck after hitting a patch of black ice.
While the warning may be annoying at times, take it for what it's worth... Let it put just an ounce of caution in your head.

I have a BMW X5 for 2.5 years and I have only seen it came on one time. I was driving in the morning and heard this chime and then the low temp warning words were displayed. Scared me for a bit until I got home and looked it up on the manual. I live in Southern California btw. It rarely goes under 40 here.

Now don't go jumping down my throat because this is just what I recall from high school chemistry/physics.
Correct me if I am wrong, the freezing point, under controlled conditions, of "pure" water is 32° F. Given you are in an outside environment, there are many factors involved with freezing; humidity, elevation, pressure, etc. So depending on your region, the temperature at which ice will form on the roads will differ. I like the fact that MINI has the indicator warning at 37° F. It gives you a heads up that ice can/will be forming rather than finding out the hard way. And for anyone that is familiar with Midwestern Winters, the warning is much appreciated, although it should be genetic at this point!

AGREED! I'm not looking for an argument. Like I said, it should be 2nd nature to those living in cold and snowy areas. If all else fails, safety should be obvious. Chicagoland area is expecting -20°F tomorrow. SWEET!!!

Maybe this has to do with my garage being warmer than 37 degrees, but only sometimes?

If the temp was below 37 when you started the car, it should flash/ding at startup. Maybe you missed it? If your seat belt isn't fastened, the seat belt chime might be standing out more in your mind.
