Car Alarm

What is your take on the quality of the factory BMW alarms?

Who has added something else?

How secure are the current BMW alarms?

I can't find much on the web.

I've added a tracking system.

Insurance obliges me to install it if the car is over 60k€.

I just find it odd that there is little or no information about "factory alarms" but tons of "opinions" from sellers of Aftermarket systems. I'd have to guess that the thieves defeat every alarm at some point but how far ahead are the manufacturers in this battle?

Car theft could be stopped by applying the same rules as for horse thieves.

Interested in if this has changed for new F90 owners...has anyone installed an aftermarket alarm system? Or GPS like Can-Am?
