325 Anti-Theft Option?
It is entirely a pricing-based decision. The current 3-series and X3
vehicles are pre-wired for an alarm with tilt and interior motion sensors, but you need to by the parts kit (about $275) and pay for installation.

Actually they have a very nice anti-theft feature built into all BMW's
irrespective of the break in kit....The key. It has an internal inverted cut that is also electronically coded to the vehicle. Now lose your key and go to the dealership for a replacement. You will need to provide documentation that proves that you are who you say you are and that you are the registered owner of the vehicle. On top of this BMW will only cut 10 keys for the life of the vehicle including the initial set. Lastly you can have your dealership electronically turn off the lost or stolen key from the vehicles memory so that if someone does find your old key they might be able to get in but won't be able to start the vehicle. If that isn't enough spend about $500.00 for the alarm kit for your 3, X3, or Z4. "Yale Braunstein" > wrote in message ... > It is entirely a pricing-based decision.
