Last winter, I was stuck in traffic, accident ahead, traffic diverted off the freeway, and snow coming down covering the sensors.
The warning beeps kept going on and off for an hr while in very slow moving traffic. Drove us nuts!!! I was about ready to take my trusted Swiss army knife and do surgery on the front bumper, when I finally could see the exit ahead of us.

I called and asked the service rep at my dealership about it, and found out it is a common complaint, that the sound can't be turned off etc..

IMO; The more people bringing up the issue, that the sound can't be turned off or at least turned down more, the better.
Maybe BMW will do the right thing and come up with a fix...

Thnx!
Can you not turn turn the sound off by pressing the parking sensor button? That’s what I’ve always done when it’s going off in a drive-thru and it seemed to work.
