How to disable the alarm

[davidprice]

Guys
Does anyone know how to temporarily disable the alarm when locking the car?
It’s going on a ferry soon and I don’t want the motion of the ferry to keep triggering the alarm
Cheers

Surely any modern car can manage a simply ferry crossing. :? That's one that must have been in the requirements doc. Even a German committee could think of that.

Traditionallly (E46/E85 etc) it's a second press of the lock button to disable volumetric and tilt alarms.

Yes it’s a double click (usual BMW process) that disables the tilt sensor.

Lock the door using the remote. Then, within 30 sec or so, press the lock button on the key again. The red blinking light underneth the interior mirror will keep on for several second to indicate the alarm is disabled.
