call me crazy but I like the new BMW chime... bump for this thread

Mark M · 03-30-2009, 07:12 AM

Thanks for the post, however, somewhat confused.

I have a U.S spec 135. My seatbelt gong comes from the stereo speakers, not the dash cluster.

JTdrivin1 · 03-30-2009, 07:32 AM

yea, this doesn't make much sense... i got a bit excited when i saw this topic, but the gong comes thru all speakers, not the dash.

gnpower · 03-30-2009, 07:48 AM

If your chime comes from that speaker, then why would tape stop it? It might muffle it a bit, but that's about it.

gtaday51 · 03-30-2009, 07:49 AM

Just get in the options and lower the volume. Its alot better than Ford's really fast chime. So its all good to me.

panama120 · 03-30-2009, 09:07 AM

EURO SPEC chime comes from cluster USA SPEC chime comes from car speakers
didnt know that

panama120 · 03-30-2009, 09:08 AM

i was looking for the chime and in my car 2008 e87 120i hatchback euro spec the chime comes from inside the cluster

panama120 · 03-30-2009, 09:10 AM

i think e90 chime speaker is inside cluster too
can someone confirm that please

matt · 03-30-2009, 10:29 AM

my dealer deleted the chime for free, cheaper than tape brah

Mark M · 03-30-2009, 12:28 PM

Dealers won't do any of that stuff here in the states. Thanks to the litigation law suit happy society. I talked to my dealer....they said nope, no way, can't do it.

that sucks since they could

Dave · 03-30-2009, 01:12 PM

i like mine with just lowered volume... this def wont work on US model

Mad Dragon · 03-30-2009, 03:18 PM

I just wear my seatbelt. No gong, ever.

Mark M · 03-30-2009, 03:31 PM

Thanks for your stellar input.

So sick and tired of seatbelt Nazis jumping in on this stuff.

MadDragon, did any of us on this board say we want to drive at 100mph in crowded city areas ignoring all laws and risking our lives and others? NO we did not.

We simply are looking for a way to disable the annoying seatbelt chime during short moves, such as getting out at the mail box, then driving in my garage, or getting a parking garage ticket then parking the car, or moving the car in the garage after I wash it. Or carrying my laptop bag on the passenger seat.

So seriously....if you can add value to the post....why are you here?????

1HungryMan · 03-30-2009, 03:37 PM

Canadian volume can't be adjusted legitimately, at least not on mine. I mean I tried turning it down on the display but nothing.

(seriously that is my name too). Anyway WHOAAAA....LOL...I don't think he meant to imply what you are saying...err..at least that is not how I took it.

italiantank26 · 03-30-2009, 06:42 PM

you realize that all you have to do if you have an american 1er is just pull the fuse for the seatbelt chime, go to your fuse box and open up that little white paper with all the functions of all the fuses and it'll tell you which one to pull
