Alarm location

[Ant]

Folks, any idea where the siren is located?

my indicators flash on/off but it's never made a noise, i do have the bonnet sensor etc as well.

is there a siren that should go off too or is it an option extra, i'm assuming if mines broken/missing the wiring is there either way and i can just replace it with

A bit of a highjack, but am I correct in assuming that all E85's (facelift in particular) come with a factory alarm and, secondly, including cabin motion sensors or is the latter an option. I can't see any, and throwing a bag onto the seat with the top down didn't trigger anything.

Also, what's the easiest way to test (i.e. set off) the alarm?

I parked mine outside my mates house with the roof down and his cat jumped in and set off the alarm so I assume that means mine has motion sensors... Thought that would be a standard feature in a vert

So, you're saying the easiest way to test it is to buy a cat... What would I do with it after? And how much are they?

Get yourself to an animal shelter you can get a pre owned model for cheap, even free sometimes...

With what to do with it after you probably won't get many ideas on a BMW forum but check out the hyundai or mitsubishi forums I'm sure the Koreans can make some suggestions
