My old 318is came with the factory (dealer?) optioned security system but no remote. The box is in the factory place inside the plastic cover in the glovebox, and one of the panels next to the emergency flasher button has a little red light and a sensor in it. I bought a remote on eBay, programmed the chip, and then I had a perfect, functioning factory keyless system. When you remove the key from the ignition, there is a little beep and then the red light begins flashing intermittently. I don't know if there are sensors elsewhere on the car, or if there is an actual alarm system involved, but I simply liked having keyless with the factory, period-correct remote.
I was wondering if all 318is or all post-1990 or so E30s are pre-wired for this system, as I'd like to install the entire system in my current 318is.
After searching the car audio & electronics boards, Ive found very little information on this subject, which is surprising because even without the key fob to begin with, it was incredibly easy to make the system functional again. Seems to be a rare option.
