As I understand it this "alarm" is only a siren that sounds due to physical break in. So it really only protects contents of the car. It's not like someone can drive it off if you don't have the alarm.

As for the stupid red clown nose, I hate it, it is one of the most disgusting interior features I have ever seen. What makes it worse is that it's put in a car and by default has no function whatsoever. This is nothing more than a way to lower the listed price and then jack the buyer for more cash at sale time. Why on earth isn't it configured to flash when the car is locked?

So it's the case that if you don't pay additional for the alarm the car doesn't even beep when you lock/unlock it?

I was really gung ho about buying a 325xi a couple of weeks ago, but the more I look into the problems (mainly tires) and additional costs that keep piling on top, I think I might be swaying back towards the A4 2.0TQ
