F@cking alarm keeps going off
What the hell sets this alarm off? For the past three days my F80 alarm has been randomly going off. I can unlock (disarm) and then if I lock again it will go off again maybe 5 min later. Annoying as hell.

Do you have something plugged into the OBD port?

"Higher than normal winds" - Is that enough to shake the vehicle? There's motion and gyro sensors on the car that triggers alarm. The motion sensor is internal in case someone breaks glass and goes in. The gyro is to prevent someone jacking the car up on wheels and towing it away, so if the wind is strong enough to shake the car, it triggers (it's happened to me once or twice when we had 70mph wind gushes).

A motion sensor in the alarm system can go bad and cause this.
Just had the sensor in the left rear interior replaced under warranty when mine was doing this. A second push on the fob lock button when locking will disarm the motion part (look for the red light on the mirror to go solid after the 2nd push) of the alarm till you get it fixed.
