I've looked at a couple other forum posts and none other have matched mine but I was wondering if someone could help me out. Every time I lock my 2018 330i gt the alarm will go off after about a minute or so(mostly random) but only if I lock the car. If I unlock it, it won't go off. Also my unlock and lock sounds aren't going. Thanks!
Edit: forgot to mention that the problem showed up overnight. One day it's fine being locked and the next it is not |

It won't go off if the car's not locked because locking the car is what arms it. Other than that I can't offer an opinion. Your dealer should be able to figure it out.

Took a FEW trips to the dealer to figure mine out.
1) Ran for codes and nothing alarm related tripped. Months pass with no issue 2) Issue comes back. They replaced one of the sensors near the rearview mirror and did an update. Ended up de-initializing my windows in the process. Alarm still sporadically trips. 3) Initialized windows and haven’t had an issue since. In closing, the motion detecting sensor was faulty and tripped randomly. It’s difficult to replicate on-call. Luckily they worked it out prior to warranty expiring. Good luck |

For future reference, this is in the manual:
Avoiding unintentional alarms The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor can be switched off together, such as in the following situations: ▷ In automatic car washes. ▷ In duplex garages. ▷ During transport on trains carrying vehicles, at sea or on a trailer. ▷ With animals in the vehicle. Switching off the tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor Press the remote control button again within 10 seconds as soon as the vehicle is locked.The indicator lamp lights up for approx. 2 seconds and then continues to flash. The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor are turned off, until the vehicle is locked again. |
