Not sure what alarm you are getting. I recently had the Christmas tree light up..changed battery...still got the alarms and ended up breaking down in the middle of a busy street. Had to change alternator, But ok so far. Different car (05' 545i).
Also try checking if the battery is connected properly...have read loose cables can cause havoc in this very finicky car!

Check the hood pin sensor. There are times when it goes bad causing the alarm to go off for no reason. You can unplug it and if it doesn't randomly go off then you know what needs to be replaced.

If the problem occurs by the micro chip then the alarm won't work.
