Some time into the waiting for a new ABS/DSC computer to arrive for my E46, I heard beeping while driving slowly (it would start when standing still and disappear when driving around 20 km/h).
This was odd, as I didn’t touch anything besides the steering wheel or the gas and break pedals.
Nothing in the instrument cluster changed either, so that put me in the wrong direction.
When the ABS/DSC computer is broken, the cluster looks like this:

Decades I thought it was easy:
| English | Dutch | German | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morning | Morgen/Ochtend | Morgen | 06:00-12:00 |
| Afternoon | Middag | Mittag | 12:00-18:00 |
| Evening | Avond | Abend | 18:00-00:00 |
| Night | Nacht | Nacht | 00:00-06:00 |
Well, at least in Germany they add more periods during the day (give or take a few hours):
| German | Period |
|---|---|
| Morgen | 05:00-10:00 |
| Vormittag | 10:00-12:00 |
| Mittag | 12:00-14:00 |
| Nachmittag | 14:00-18:00 |
| Abend | 18:00-23:00 |
| Nacht | 23:00-05:00 |
And in English, the starting and ending times are way more flexible than in the tables above:
| English | Period |
|---|---|
| Morning | sunrise-noon |
| Afternoon | noon-sunset |
| Evening | sunset-twilight-end |
| Night | sunset-sunrise |
