lets start with the items...
You have the CCFLs inside the headlights. When the CCFLs are activated, the front PDC is constantly beeping, (and the rear one probably is not reacting to any obstacles) The CCFLs are aftermarket items that were inserted into the headlights by baking them open. The CCFLs are using ballasts, one per each headlight. The ballasts could be 1. inside the headlight, or 2. outside the headlight Regardless of where the ballasts are, the require 12 VDC in order to operate. The voltage can be supplied to the ballasts by many different ways - can you specify how exactly the ballasts are fed? Depending on your particular setup, you might not need to open the headlights... give us a detailed rundown, i am a lettle bit slow, so i like the details... lol... |

according to your link, and the further link to FastM.com (2003.5 BMW M3) - DIY Guide for CCFL Angel Eyes, there is a relay that feeds power to the igniters/ballasts.
Is this the case in your installation? Do you have a relay that is described in that link? |

Yes, I bought the wiring harness/relay and installed it on my e46.
I imagine the X3 install will need the same and remote lighting hookup to the footwell , under the glove compartment. |

so, according to the write up, there is a "trigger" wire that goes from that relay to the ECU, in order to ignite the CCFLs when the engine is running.
That "trigger" wire is THE wire of interest. If you confirm that particular setup applies to your install, we can take it further to get the PDC issue resolved... |

Yup, this trigger wire exactly applied to the E46 I installed. I used the trigger wire exactly as shown in the fastM posts and the FastM DIY you have posted here.
I don't have PDC in the X3. |

hahaha... i was running off the OP post, where he was complaining about the PDC and the CCFLs... I guess, none of my responses apply to you... I do not know about baking the X3 lights but the wiring is probably the same |
