Hi all

My alarm randomly goes off on my 330ci so I'm thinking it could be a sensor issue but could some body tell me how many sensors would be on my car relating to the alarm

Thank you

    Bonnet, boot lid, doors. Maybe one on the roof inside the car plus a tilt sensor in the boot.

    If you press the lock button a second time within 10 secs it will disarm the internal sensor if fitted and the tilt sensor

    Thanks Mike, I'll give the double lock ago for a while to see if that stops it from going off, then maybe that would give me an idea of which one it could be

    Have you got anything hanging from your rear view mirror or something?

    If you have it could be that that's causing the internal sensor to go off
