Asking for my dad, as this is bugging him quite a bit at work!
Basically, whenever he locks the car (2000 528i), the alarm seems to go off every hour or so for no obvious reason. Even when it's parked on the driveway at home, well away from the road (which is quiet anyway) it keeps going off, yet never happens at night (I don't know if thats relevant).
Any known causes of this, or is it a case of a slight electrical fault somewhere thats going to be a pain in the arse to locate? Was thinking the regularity could be a sign of a low battery?
Any help would be great
