I had a great idea today and decided to cut the cable that goes to the alarm in my 94 525i.
Fortunately I disconected the battery first.
When I tried to start the car again it was dead. It didnt start. I had to rewire it back again cause I couldnt find how to jump it so it started.
And so now everything is back on its place and the car is working fine but I would like to get rid of it.
Anyone knows how?!
This is the kind of alarm my car has:

It is in the engine bay.
That looks like a factory add on alarm. I’ve only seen them in early cars with non pre wired factory alarm. That particular style I’ve never seen, the ones 90% of e34/32 have don’t have an immobilizer feature
Me E30 87/ 325i + F25 12/ M-Sport + E32 94/ 740i
G/F’s E34 92/ 525iT + F48 18/ X1
I see an on/off switch on that siren

Yesss that is true!
However there are like 6 additional wires that go within the main cable to the alarm box and of course if you cut everything the car won't start.
How do I know what wires to jump!? I don't know.
In fact my switch is not there anymore. It broke and so all the wires that were soldered to it (4) are all joined together now so it is always on.
I think my car has EWS1. I don't know if this has something to do with it.
It makes sense cause if a thief wants to steal the car and so the alarm turns on, if he tries to cut the wires so the alarm stops, the car won't start.
And now I don't know how to remove it...
Maybe some wiring diagram...
