[VINDIESEL]

Gud day gentlemen and ladies.... I hav faulty e46 bonnet switch,causing havoc with my alarm:thumbdo: ....it needs replacing.wer can I find replacement? And has ther been improvements to this switch....I was wondering if u guys noticed how common it is to hear faulty BMW alarms in parking lots,all thnx to same problem,no doubt:nonono:...thnx guys

You could unplug it in the meantime while waiting for a replacement. Just an idea.

Its also common on the 1 series. Water must easily splash into that area causing it to mulfunction...only theory i got.

Had this happen a year or so ago with my Wife's E46, just get a new one from the agents - can't remember exactly, but wasn't that expensive... :thumbs:
