Then they came back and said that BMW only offers Alarms on pre-2009 M3's and that the 2010's are not pre-wired and too technical and electronic to install. I was told to get Lojack and call it a day. This is my 7th BMW and I have always had BMW integrated alarms...this one just doesn't make sense.

Has anyone heard of this? When I went to BMW NA website, it does state pre-2009 only for Alarms. Am I stuck with a $75K car with no alarm?? Help!

Thanks!

Scotty
Don't know what to tell you except that model year 2010 saw the introduction of a factory installed alarm on the 3-series, option 302, for $400 MSRP. I have it on my car. Perhaps they are no longer pre-wiring cars or the existing alarm kit doesn't work with MY2010 cars.
