Hi,

My e90 has an alarm as it turns out. Found out by accident, when I ran into a shop and locked the car with my wife and daughter inside (do not usually do it btw, but the area felt a little unsafe ). After about 2 mins or so the alarm went off, which surprised me.

Other things suggesting that the alarm is there is the red blinking light under the rear view mirror. Also according to vin info, I do have an alarm. However, I do not have beeps when I close/open the car. I have tried the settings but the option is for lights only and not sound.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

p.s. Car details in signature.

it would have to be coded with BMW diagnostic equipment for it to beep
if you press the fob button twice it should deactivate the interior sensors for when you have occupants inside

By British law beep when close/open the car is illegal. You can change it by coding.

What?! I had no idea. Well, if that's the case, then there isn't much point I guess. I don't want to get shot down by the police

When I lock or unlock my car, I Have no beep, thank goodness! Just lights flashing.
Nothing more annoying than car alarm beeps late at night.
As long as there is a visual winking red light, then that will suffice.
