does the M have an audible chirp when locking/unlocking?
I see you can choose this is the owners manual but I have no audible setting option when going in through settings>locks in iDrive.

I have the alarm, I guess that's what the reprogramming is for at the dealership I guess.

WTF? I assumed I had the alarm. The car was ordered with every option, but I don't ever recall the alarm being it's own option.
I don't have the two "acoustic confirms" within that menu. Lame. Can the dealer can do something about this via reprogramming? |

The Alarm is pre-wired you still need to add the alarm if you want it.

Back to the original topic...I just don't feel as comfortable when I lock my car and don't hear a chirp or horn. Hopefully there will be another way to activate this without purchasing the alarm from BMW. My salesman told me the alarm is useless lol Jason

Owner's manual and alarm

It would be nice if they would give you more specifics about why the asterick is next to different items like "* Requires accessory alarm installation and programming."

Alarm worth the money?
I think so. It's good to have the "clown nose" activated as a deterrent; and the alarm could be of some use if someone tries to steal your wheels or flatbed the car, or even in a smash and grab situation. It also gives you the panic button feature.

Alarm install
Did you have this done by a dealer? Just installing the alarm does not make it fully functional. The vehicle must be "coded" for the alarm by a dealer for full functionality. Expect to pay around 1 hour labor for this in addition to the installation.
