Probably valet switch. Trace the wiring?"I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Well, what happened when you switched it?Comment

There is no such thing. Installed at the dealership using BMW parts, perhaps, or even at the port of entry, but no such thing as a proper "factory installed" alarm in an E30, ever. Which means things are not always the same, even if it seems stock, part of it was the installers choice in locations and settings.Originally posted by dubtechnic View Post
So, that being said, that is the typical place the dealers installed the "OE" valet switch...which is retarded, they get kicked and broken. Yours looks like a replacement switch...but might not do anything until your key is turned on.
Drop that panel, post a pic of the alarm brain, lets find out what that is.
If the wires are red and red/white, it is for sure the valet switch.
