My Ride: Amethest Grey 530i--AC Schnitzer Kit all the way around--Quad Magna Flow Exhaust--20" MMR wheel 4.5 inch lip--

So I was playing with the key one day rolling down the windows etc.

After that my car will not beep when I lock it. I went into Idrive and its selected but still will not do it.

Can anyone help me?

If it is selected in I-drive, that is weird. I would try resetting it. Turn off the beep, then turn it back on.

Yes my car still beeps when I unlock it just not when I lock it.

I have tried unselecting and selecting but still does not work.

Were the beeps an option? When i lock/unlock my car, the lights just blink, no beeps (nothing in the iDrive settings either).

I believe beeps are not allowed in Germany (maybe Iceman can confirm). I know I've never ever in 15 years of being here heard a car alarm beep on arm/disarm. Is it the same in Holland?

Now that you tell me, yeah, that could be right.
I only occasionally hear the beeps from some 20 year old Mercedes down the street, i haven't heard them anywhere else.

Lucky bastards. I had to go over to my neighbors house the other day and roust him out of bed to get him to pull the negative term. off his battery so his car alarm would stop going off in the middle of the night. It was going off because the battery voltage was getting low.
