Why does my BMW keep beeping?

Beeping sound from a parked BMW

Any interior movement sensor, tilt switch, bonnet switch, stereo anti-theft switch, door switches, or
boot switch can randomly set off an alert. By double-locking the car with the fob, the interior and tilt
switches can be turned off. The door, boot, and bonnet switches continue to function. Try not activating
the alarm by simply locking with the key if you are still experiencing false alarms. If it continues to go off,
the tilt switch most likely has water in it. While driving, this has also been known to set off the alarm.

Beeping sound every hour

At the factory default settings, the hourly alarm should be turned off. If your BMW is beeping hourly, it's
probably the hourly nudge. At the top of every hour, it reminds you with a little beep. It can be turned
off. The option is there if you have i-drive.

Beeping noise inside the car while driving

One of the owners of BMW X3 has shared his experience about hearing constant beeps while driving.
This problem came up with the hatch not opening with the door switch. This is caused by unwelcomed
water infiltration from the shark fin antenna. The communication module, which also houses the built-in
SIM card, is located beneath the shark fin antenna. A faulty amplifier may produce an unwelcome sound
or noise. A possible water damage to the amplifier hidden behind the left side panel should also be
checked.
