Do you have a device communicating via obd port when you lock it? Happened to me several times.

hi mate I had the same issue, I took it to BMW and took them approx. 2 days to find the issue, there was an issue with the aerial for the SOS or something like that on the alarm harness. Mine was covered by warranty, thank god otherwise would have been quite an expensive fix.

BMW also told me that they have had to order 50,000 replacement units so I guess it turned out to be a common fault, possibly a recall on the 5 series.

every time I locked the car the alarm would go off within 2 - 3 mins. had to lock using my phone and app for about 2 weeks. very frustrating. Hope this helps.
