3-Series (E21, E30)Chat relating to the BMW 3-Series from 1975-1983 and 1984-1991 line. Specific models: BMW 315, BMW 316, BMW 318, BMW 318i, BMW 320/4, BMW 320i, BMW 320/6, BMW 323i, BMW 320i. E30 Family models include: BMW 325e, BMW 325i, BMW 325is, BMW 325ix.
i have a 1987 bmw 325, it has an aftermarket -Code Alarm- security system. My oil light recently came on a check engine light so i changed the oil and the light wouldnt go off so i decided i was going to unhook the battery to reset the computer. When i reconnected the battery the alarm started going off and it wont stop for anything also i do not have the remote because its broke and the alarm comes with an ignition trip so you cant start the car, it has no valet switch and i cant find the splice where the ignition wire goes into the alarm module. so i cant start my car and with the battery hooked up the alarm goes off constantly. any help would be appreciated !!!!!!!!
Unless it's actually useful, and you find that people attempt to steal a 1987 BMW, then trace one of the sensors or whatever to a very, very remote point in the system and cut it. You can put a toggle switch in there if you really want to, but I would guess that an alarm isn't really necessary. Certainly isn't if you can's start your car with one.
