Hmmm, how odd! All my previous BMW's have functioned the same as my E85 (Z3M, E46 M3).. i.e. no sound at all when putting into reverse, then intermittent beep when approaching object.
The only time I have had a continuous beep on engaging reverse was with a duff sensor on the M3.
I don't think it's anything codeable either..at least I've never seen it on Carly.

Reverse gear warning IS codeable.

Mine doesn't have the reversing sensors and is a manual, but does has the buzzer connected. When I select reverse I get a regular intermittent pinging sound. No constant sound etc. After reading the above im not sure if mine is different due to it being a manual or pdc free car
Page 50 in the manual says " You can arrange for a signal to be provided as confirmation that PDC is active" so this must have been coded in by the dealer at the customers request. Mine doesn't do it.
It then goes on to say "If a continuous signal at a pitch higher than usual is heard when the system is first activated, it is malfunctioning. "

Hmmm? I don’t think backup beepers are required here, we also don’t have transmission lock into park if the seatbelt isn’t fastened. That was a pissoff when I had my E89 reprogrammed and it had the euro program put in, couldn’t back out of my garage without using the brake and the gas pedal at the same time. Anyway , I will have a peek under the dash just out of curiosity. :roll:
