Is it really considered a “break-in” if the vehicle is UNLOCKED?

FYI…unless BMW changed things with the X7…the IMS (interior motion sensor) & TILT sensors have a delayed activation of approx 20 seconds. So if you want to test them…you would need to roll a window down…lock the vehicle…then wait approx 20 seconds…then stick your arm inside the cabin and wave it around. The siren should sound off.

Same with the tilt sensor…it takes 20 seconds AFTER locking the vehicle.

You can also press the button on the remote to activate the PANIC alarm. This should be covered in your owners manual on how to activate it. If you don’t have the physical manual…there’s one built into iDrive (which also has a search feature). Just type “ALARM” into the search field.
