Black Ice Warning

KIS · 01-13-2011, 01:13 PM

The Black Ice Warning came on for the first time this morning while I was driving briskly on US 59. When I glanced at the dash I thought it was a warning that my wheel was loose. (It was early). At any rate, the warning served its' purpose. Only the Germans would remind you it was cold outside.........

+1 it's colder than normal in houston

Believe it or not, here in Los Angeles, I have gotten the “DING” 37 degree Black Ice Warning, twice in the last two weeks.

Yep, 3 degrees celcius the black ice warning comes on, which is pretty much every day during the winter for us Brits.

Lucky me, I get it every morning. I always think... well no sh*t its cold out.. I know!

I think below a certain temperature it shouldn't go off. "I know it's focking cold out, quit rubbing it in, and just turn on the seat heaters already!"

BobsM3Coupe · 01-13-2011, 02:43 PM

I haven't seen that warning on my car yet. Hope I never do.

GOLFFRR · 01-13-2011, 02:47 PM

i get the cold weather ding every morning as well lately. lucky i go garage at home to garage at work.

side note if you guys have ice on the roads dont they put salt on the roads? if so what does that do to your car over time? rust it out? just curious

Black Ice in Los Angeles, rare, you think?

I even go the warning in my 135i last weekend.

Roby84m · 01-13-2011, 02:58 PM

how does the car know the outside temperature? Is it the sensors? So when i take the car to the indoor garage the temperature will change right away right? I know maybe it's a silly question but just popped in my mind thanks
