Random beeps while driving

Have an 08 550i with logic 7 system navigation pdc etc... Recently while driving normal speeds I hear a random set of beeps usually 3-4. Control system says everything is ok. Any ideas what these random beeps while driving are?

Are you sure you don't have the hourly chime enabled? The hourly chime isn't a chime, more like a set of beeps that get faster, then do 1 final long beep.

probably the hourly beep for the clock. I think the cars come with a mileage beep also. Not sure

I had this issues when I first bought my e60 and yes it's the hourly beep.. It's called hour memo I believe you just have to uncheck the box .. It's somewhere in settings.

Thanks Guys! I'll try looking for the setting. It started after I got it back from the dealership for service and I assumed they broke something considering they never fixed what they were supposed to.

Get this, they left my car uncovered near the body shop now there is overspray on my black car, left a screwdriver in my engine-bay and chipped the paint on my rims... Never go to BMW of Monrovia! And they are trying to tell me it's not their fault.... Sorry I digress, thanks for the suggestions.
