The light is there... which is completely useless without an alarm (or possibly some sneaky coding.) My wife really just wants audible confirmation of the car being locked when she leaves. That seems like a reasonable request to me! The locks are so quiet that you don't hear them otherwise.

Anyone have any ideas or thoughts on this?

Thanks!

I have a 2010 and there is a loud mechanical noise when I lock the car. Also try going into the computer in the car.

It is outragious a $40k car does not have an alarm... But its bmw and you get nothing for your money.
