New to BMW, have owned my 2010 X5M for 4 months now... Still trying to get used to the peculiarities of owning a German car.

So when the car is off, I am hearing a ticking sound coming from the car. Is this normal BMW thing? Could it be the sound of the alarm system? It's definitely not coming from the engine as this sound continues after turning off the engine no matter if the engine was hot or cold.
