My alarm is throwing a "door open" beep when I arm it. The 2 doors and boot switches are tested and fine. But I can't find the bonnet open/close sensor, anyone know where it is??

Standard BMW one is by the fuse box where the roller on the bonnet goes in.

Cool! Will have a look, I think water is getting in as after it rains my alarm goes behaves a bit mad.

Thanks Ben.!

if its not dealer fitted, it should be fitted around the front, around by the radiator.
