Alarm or no Alarm?

Design1314 · 06-25-2007, 12:49 PM

Do you guys install a alarm or no? I understand that its hard to steal a bimmer w/o the FOB key...

FrankoQ · 06-25-2007, 12:51 PM

Yes.

DasBlitz · 06-25-2007, 12:54 PM

No alarm. As stated it is very hard to steal the vehicle without the key.

Design1314 · 06-25-2007, 01:18 PM

but wouldnt it make you feel unsecure w/o the alarm sound going off?

AJ M2 comp · 06-25-2007, 01:20 PM

Alarm. Have had problems in my condo with break ins. Just buy one and install it yourself its easy.

It doesn't go off all the time. It has been stated by people with the alarm that the main time it goes off is when being lifted(towed).

So no point.

I had an alarm on my '02 330ci, not really sure if they're similar or not, but I know my lock was drilled & doors opened and nothing went off, sounds like they haven't made many improvements yet.

msimon18 · 06-25-2007, 02:19 PM

I got them to throw in the alarm. It is being installed now. Not sure how valuable but it saves a bit on my insurance.

ejazbmw · 06-25-2007, 02:26 PM

i was debating to get the alarm or not but i just saved the money for some rims

....its not like people are going to look at the car when the alarm goes off anyway no one cares these days....

Design1314 · 06-25-2007, 02:41 PM

in NY is crazy!!

lkevinl · 06-25-2007, 02:42 PM

lease = no alarm
own = alarm

Or, here's a thought: Check the BMW website or actually talk to a salesman.

If only someone could figure out a way to show a few words in, let's call it a "title," to indicate what a thread was about. That would really cut down on folks having to inadvertantly open a thread that they don't want to read only to discover that it is something that could have been searched - necessitating a thorough analysis of every thread started by said poster wasting enormous amounts of the reader's time.

If only ....
