Post by Yan » Thu Jul 17, 2014 9:09 pm

Could anyone help please.

My Z4 randomly makes a beep noise when turning on the ignition and no warning lights appear, does anyone know why?

My zed sometimes "bleeps" on start up on the very random occasion.... I've had no issues... :o

I've checked via the OBD port and no errors.... it's very random :thumbsup:

Yep, mine does this as well. I didn't know if it was anything to do with turning on the ignition with the door open as this is when it seems to happen most? Having said that it is a bit intermittent.

most commonly associated with the pdc, if you had reversed into your spot with the pdc bleeping and turned off, to hear a final bleep on start up, if you dont have pdc then :cry:

I have pdc I wonder if that's my issue!

Mine seems to do it as a warning when getting near to the mileage for a service

My e85 used to do that !

It wakes you up doesn't it?
I checked oil, tyres etc and couldn't find anything . The car is still going strong today.

I believe it does it when the temperatures start to drop; but I believe it beeps at ~3C, so surely it can't be happening at the minute for that reason?

To add, mine has never done this, but then I never leave it in reverse having parked! I do also start it with the door open with no issue :lol:
