This is my first post, although I have learned alot from browsing the forum - a wealth of knowledge is here.
I have a 2004 530i - 58,000miles, sport package, no nav, no logic 7, no cd changer, sat prep
For the last couple of weeks once and awhile there is a series four beeps can be heard. It sounds as if it is coming from the overhead console where the moonroof controls are, but can't be sure. Nothing shows in the I-drive as an error as well as nothing shows in the info center inbetween the guages. It seems to be purely random, not speed dependent, climate control on or off, fuel near empty or near full. It has me baffled.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Could it also be the speed limit warning? Can't remember how many beeps that is as I have it turned off.

I've been experiencing the same thing and my SA told me it was related to my recent passenger restraint system failure. I'll check my I drive and be sure to tell him.
