When in, I mentioned that I could hear some wind noise occasionally when on the motorway and a gust of wind blew across me - as if the window was slightly ajar.
They road tested the car, and confirmed they could hear the noise - and then road tested it with me present to make double sure. They then extended the loan car for an extra day after refurbing the wheel. ( It was a 2013 116d M Sport in bright orange. Great looking car, cool colour. Drove well too, for what it was albeit the manual gearbox was a bit notchy...)
They took the wind noise really seriously - replaced the seal in the door AND the driver side wing mirror. Apparently BMW recently revised the design of the mirror assembly to remove a small gap that meant air got caught as it flowed past contributing to the noise. This was at a cost of £380 + VAT at 20% + Labour. Thankfully, the car is new and therefore this was a warranty job... I think the issue is cured, time will tell.
Anyway, to the point - since I got the car back, every time I put it into reverse and the top view camera comes on, the car chimes and 'Camera System' displays in the dash and in the HUD. Cameras appear to work fine.
It didn't chime before - is this normal?! How do I turn the chime for this off - I don't want a "BING" every time I select reversal camera - it's most annoying!!
Cheers,

It's possible that the chime and message display are a normal part of your car's camera system. but it's also possible that there's an issue with the system that's causing the chime and message to appear even though everything is working fine.
To determine whether this is a normal function or an issue, you can consult your car's user manual or contact the dealership where you purchased the car for more information. They may be able to provide you with details on how to turn off the chime or whether it's even possible to do so.
