Random Chime

I seem to be getting a random single chime, intermittent, and seemingly unrelated to anything. Has anyone else seen this?

It happens on its own at all given times. Sometimes just once a trip, sometimes multiple times and sometimes not for weeks at a time (so taking it to the dealer is a crapshoot because it has never done it when they had it out for a test drive).

Seatbelts on, tire pressures good, doors are closed securely and no messages in the cluster. No warning lights or anything come on when it happens.

Must admit I too have had some weird occurences of chimes

and dash lites flashing.

Usually it happens if I don't get right in and start the DJ after

doing things such as loading stuff into the hatch or 2nd row.

This has happened only about 5-10 times so I have ignored it

and really am not concerned about as it starts and runs with

nothing else happening.

An intermittent chime drove us crazy on my wife's 2001 300M for years. It usually happened right after we backed it out of the garage and were about to put it in drive. Last year I had to replace the computer (Bus Communication Error), and it still did it. Never did figure it out. At least it was harmless.
