Fairly sure the alarm module gets wet on these, seem to remember it's somewhere in passenger side boot area. Sometimes just drying it out works

^ that or the bonnet switch... (the later models had a longer switch) I found the easiest way to solve it long term is to disconnect the battery... ;0) If you haven't already have a look at the tech articles and Z3 specific forums on zroadster.org/articles/?category=bmw-z3-wiki&id=274 |

Cheers guys, just gone to have a look at the alarm unit in NSR arch area. It seems it's been unplugged and disposed of! I am guessing it was playing up because of water ingress and previous owners have had it removed. Any ideas if these are coded to car or am I ok getting one of a breaker? Cheers.

Oh and found this zroadster.org/wiki/bmw-z3/bmw-z3-alarm-3g-ews-gemel-user-guide/ Looks far to complex for me... i have the later in-built key so don't have to deal with the 'brick' but the alarm is still a pain. I'm waiting on good wearther or me clearing out the garage to sort mine. I 'think' the alarm unit isn't coded but give your local BMW garage a call and the parts guy should be able to tell you. |

It seems my Z3 doesn't have a tilt sensor (NSR boot under carpet) or a stereo switch. Had a look today. Wrapped the bonnet switch wires together and left apart, neither makes any difference. Any further help would be much appreciated!
