I went forward with my E90 alarm install, and took some pics along the way. I would say that it is an easy install, as long as you have some mechanical confidence and experience. The "hardest" part is removing the left rear wheel to install the siren. Since our cars do not come with a...

Left side tire

Did the install and it went off without a hitch except for a few minor things. My feb 08 E90 had the hood switch cable out and affixed to the side of the tray. I didnt need to remove the break pump cover. Also, the "left rear wheel" is the driver side wheel (in left hand drive, e.g. N American, cars). Getting the wheel off was the hardest part, but a 25 dollar breaker bar fixed that without breaking a sweat. Now it lives in my trunk should I ever need it. Clown nose was blinking as soon as I plugged the battery in and the siren went off when I waived my arm through an open window. Success!

Programming necessary?

I just retrofit my alarm and tested it by reaching into an open window and the alarm went off. Clown nose works...I had assumed that BMW's stealership programming does something beyond just setting up the arming/disarming chirp; but maybe not?

Please let me know!

Thanks!

Great write up, simple install on my 02/09 E93.

Hi all,

I just ordered a new F31/330d , and I removed the complete alarm from my E91/2009 build. Its for sale on the Belgium Bimmerboard and i'm asking 150€ for the alarm, sealing light with sensor build in and the wiring. The mirror I can not sell unless there is a exchange with a normal one without a "clownnose" since I sold mine.
