Cale 36 Report post Posted September 14, 2008 The alarm in my e30 has been playing up lately. Everytime I set the alarm and leave the car, about 60sec later the it goes off, everytime, no reason. I cannot figure out why. Is it a broken sensor somewhere or something? I believe it is the ancient original alarm (has the square black speaker, left front engine bay?) Thanks.

Could be a number of things. If you’re in Takanini call in and see Carl at Live wire Auto & Marine, he is a top bloke and a friend of mine and will most likely have a look straight away. Say your from Bimmersport and you know Graham It’s the next drive way after Papakura Toyota, across from the whore house Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
