Pretty sure it means the battery that is in the siren itself is no good. The siren has it's own internal battery. Here is one from RealOEM:
RealOEM.com * BMW E60 530xi Alarm systems
I have seen online that some of the sirens can be opened and you can get a replacement battery (not from BMW). BMW will only sell you a new part.
As I recall it is somewhere in the rear of the car, maybe under the bumper or one of the wheel wells.

Thanks for this
Do you think the bulb massage in cluster is coased buy siren battery? I'll try to get it out and replace the battery. Is this located under the left rear wheel well?
