Default e60 beeping

hi all
when i first start my car 2004 e60 530d there is a continious beeping noise which is driving me crazy!

ive found that one of the pdc is broken as its not picking it up on the car diagram on the idrive,

when im driving, it will also start a continious beeping noise which is very loud for about 30 seconds and on my drive to work which is about 31miles it will do it around 7-10 times

has anyone else had this fault or is it just associated with the pdc sensor being faulty??

That sounds like a very annoying problem to have.

I'd put $5 on it being the PDC sensor - seems pretty obvious that is the first thing you should replace. If it doesn't fix it, then start wondering and asking around.

Are you sure its the PDC and not your speed alarm being set? Its annoying and I found mine set once without my knowledge... Check in your iDrive just to be sure... sounds like you are hitting a certain speed and its warning you, and then you slow down and it goes off again upon hitting that speed. Of course, it may just be a broken PDC sensor, but why would it go on while you are driving?
