This morning outside temp reading was blinking and a alarm was beeping anyone else have this? I noticed the temp dropped about two degrees and the light started to blink.

I noticed this too on mine when the temperature reaches about 37 degrees. This is a safety feature allerting you that there may be ice on the roads because of the low temperature.

Yep, I noticed this this morning for the first time too. There's another thread about this today (I guess the first frost for a lot of the US was last night). It's an ice indicator. Chime dings and temp flashes.

I feel sorry for you guys! 37 deg is too cold for October. I'm glad I moved south to NC. It was 55 deg this morning and I was ready to get out my gloves!

Yeah, it's a safety feature. My old 325iX did it too.

In the SF bay area, I wore shorts while playing a round of 18 yesterday!

Then I went over to my buddies house, bbq'd and watched the Giants and the Niners win!

Very cool feature, although I'll never need it. It was a freezing 64 degrees when I drove to work this morning!

Forget the car, I would freeze if it was 37! If you guys ever need to defrost, just motor on out west until you hit the BIG puddle (the Pacific), you can't miss it!

I was wondering if it did something below freezing... cool...

(and weirdly enough, in the arctic tundra that is the Buffalo / Niagara Falls region, i have yet to drop below freezing... (at least when i'm in the car that is...))
