I have A 1996 525i, I have only 1 remote control fob which was recently damaged consequently making it impossible to disable the system, the alarm system was fully operational before the control fob was damaged.
When I took it to my local dealership they say it has a fault on it, they could not fix it, and a new system is needed at a cost approx £900, after ringing around I`m told that only a dealership can do any work on a BMW alarm system is this true? is it worth having a different system installed, any reccomendations, or is there an alternative to have the original alarm diagnosed by an independent company.
I`d like to know if anyone has had the same problem when approaching a dealership to work on bmw alarm systems.
