Blinking Thermometer Light
Why does the outside thermometer light blink? it seems to blink when its 37* or less out when the car is started, does this mean something? It doesn't stay blinking only for a little while after start up. Thanks

It`s a warning for potential black ice conditions, which are possible anytime the ambient temp drops below 37 degrees F.
Read the E46 Wiki, which contains a link to the Owner`s Manual.

It should beep once at 37°F as well, then flash 5-10 times

Thanks, I should get an owners manual for the car, I'm sure it would be informative!

There used to be flash videos on BMW's website for how to use e46 features, but that went away when the e9x became current. Wish I had saved the vids

....and it'll do it every time the temp dips below 37 degrees. Very annoying, especially if the outside temp is around 37 deg. I had the thing beep over and over again as I was driving in and out of shade on a road trip last winter. Your car can be programmed to disable that feature. I did it myself with the Xcar360 coding program and cable.

I have taken to calling it the "What's wrong?!?" light, because my fiance still asks that question every time it beeps when we're in the car.
Her son remembers, though, and says "It's 37 degrees out, mom!" every time now
