alarm install in Southern California -- how much?
For those of you who live in Southern California, how much did you pay for the dealer to install the alarm (parts + labor)?
It seems like a few people around here were able to get it installed for $450, but none of those people are in Southern California. $450 seems like the best price available in the U.S.--anyone in L.A./O.C. get it for that much? If so, which dealer? (My Orange County dealer quoted me $595, but is checking to see if he can do it cheaper.) Thanks. |

I've heard that the dealer can charge up to $100 to install the alarm software if you install the unit yourself. To do it myself, I'd have to purchase a jack and torque wrench which would be about $120. Plus $100 dealer activation, plus $230 alarm cost gives a DIY price of $450. If the dealer can do it for the same amount or slightly more, then I'll let him do it. |

Okay, thanks. At least I know that my dealer charging $595 isn't outrageous. Anyone here in So. Calif. have a dealer install the alarm? There's gotta some more fellow E90 owners around here--we probably have more German cars here in So. Calif. than anywhere else (outside of Germany)! Thanks!

 Okay cool, I'll check them out if Crevier can't give me a better price. If anyone else had another dealer in So. Calif. do it, please let me know. (Nick Alexander is kind of in the 'hood.) |

Seriously, I think it's a good deterent for anyone who wants to steal anything out of or from my car. Like a camera or something I leave on the seat, or my wheels, or emblem, etc. I spent so much already on the car, the extra $500 or so seems like it's well worth it, don't you agree? |
