Most 08s and 09s came pre-wired I believe.
I have a 04/09, it is pre-wired.

All E9X build before 3/09 are prewired for alarm.
All 4/09+ models that were not ordered with alarm will not have necessary prewiring. A retrofit kit (with BMW part number & even instructions) was intended, but seems to have never been released.
As with most BMWs that are close to this transition (within a month or so), it may swing either way. VIN check will show the Vehicle Order and know for sure.
Hope this helps.
