Firstly hello all
im new to this site someone i know has just told me about it

can anyone please help or advise me.
my car is a 525d 05 reg e60


when my car is locked or unlocked there is a beeping every 2mins or so coming from inside the car its not really loud but if you are stood near the car you can hear it

as soon as you start the car it doesnt beep again

i have checked the alarm-- which is fine
i have checked the fuses again all ok
i have looked on the i-drive and this is showing no faults

i now have no idea

i really hope you can help

Thanks i look forward to your replies

 

Sounds to me like some sort of silly aftermarket add-on, or an option that may only be regionally available. I have seen several times alarm systems that decide that making constant, repeating noises to 'confirm' that the alarm is, in fact armed, but mostly asian imports. If it were my car, I would make a top priority of removing that - unless someone else replies saying it is factory.

Have you tried sitting in your car and hitting the lock button on your remote to try and hunt the sound down? If you hit the lock button twice you will arm the alarm but disable the motion sensor so you can crawl around your interior until you locate the culprit.

 

iCharles brings up a good point. This is not a standard BMW feature. Perhaps you have aftermarket equipment installed. Have you checked to make sure your HOUR MEMO isn't enabled in your date/time settings? Would be nearly impossible for that to be the cause and it shouldn't do it when your car is locked but double check it in any case....

 

think im going to after check if there is anything fitted after market

 

As allready said it is definately NOT a stock feature.

 

i am a very happy man ive found an aftermaket nokia carkit installed so ive disconnected
the dame thing and now i am the proud owner of a beeeeeeeep free e60 BMW

Thank you everyone for there advice.

Cheers Mark

 

man if it is what I am thinking, thats the fuel pump I believed.. is the noise like i.e.. you car is in the garage and you open a door or turn the light with your remote?

then gets a sound and after a few minuts goes away ?

 

ohhhh you are saying inside the car, sorry yeah thats something else..I don't have that
