you might try ebay..... I've seen the box that goes under the back seat going for maybe like 40 bucks...... Granted you'll need the prewired hook ups for the box....
BavAuto - and my local stealer - have it for $400. Anyone know of a dealer or other source selling it for less? Looking for PN 82 11 1 468 755 for my '93 wagon.
Would also take a used one if someone has one lying around collecting dust.
Thanks all,

They are junk... do yourself a favor and get a good aftermarket one... Clifford, DEI etc.
I've had good luck with my AutoLoc from BMP. FWIR it was around $200. It was very easy to install, pluggged right into the factory pre-wired harness under the r/s rear seat. It came w/ everything needed. It also has a nice feature that automatically locks all the doors after 5 seconds w/ key on (a must have while it's my wife's car- for the added protection)-

What makes them "junk" as you say. I have an Alpine alarm in two other of my cars and it has been just fine. I have heard from Z3 owner that OEM alarm lacks sensors that would protect his top-down convertible, but I have a wagon.
I welcome all thoughts?

So, the search continues.....
Thanks for the replies,

All in all? I only use it to lock and unlock my car... forget the alarm... I don't want to be stranded. So you say "only the antennae?" Well it will cost you probably around $150+ just for the antennae.
I have only had a Viper alarm on my old e30 and that did me just fine. What are some reputable aftermarket alarm brands that you guys might recommend??
