Press the S/R button when the clock is displayed. You'll see the chime icon appear and disappear. The 38 degree or less chime cannot be turned off -- it's to warn you that the roads might be icy.

The 38F chime is for safety, a warning against the possibility of ice on the road. Checking the owner's manual, there seems to not be a way to turn it off. I get a temp reading all winter long on start.

If you have the 12 button OBC, to set the clock chime off, simply press S/R as you are in clock mode, and you will notice the alarm logo turn on or off.

The six button OBC; the manual says the Memo button is for the alarm (toggle on/off), 15 seconds before the hour in order to let you tune in to the hourly news.

Whether you take advantage of it or not... I think that was a badass feature for BMW.

The title says it all. I get the chime at 36 (38) degrees F also.
