*Coded Driveaway Protection (prevents engine start when your key, with constantly changing electronic code, is not used)

A nice feature on all BMW's. Makes use of the ignition difficult without the proper key.


*Alarm system with operation from keyhead remote, interior motion detector

Very sensitive system. Don't leave your windows down and lock the car. Any passerby will set it off. We've experienced this at the car meets down here.


*Keyless entry with multi-function remote, 2-step unlocking, remote trunk release

Nice feature to be able to unlock one door when in questionable area. Also, unlocking trunk does not unlock doors.

*Anti-theft AM/FM stereo/cassette/CD audio system with 10 speakers (including 2 subwoofers), Radio Data System (RDS), Digital Sound Processing (DSP), 6-disc CD changer and 4-channel FM diversity antenna system

Nice feature which allows you to program in code to prevent the vehicle from starting (even with the key) unless the code is put in first. Great for those with kids going through the terrible teens and who might be tempted to borrow Dad/Mom's car!
