    Did US E30 M3s come standard with an alarm - or was it an option?

    Hi all!

    I'm trying to figure out if my 1990 M3 is supposed to have an alarm or not. It was pointed out to me that my alarm horn is missing, but I'm not sure it ever had one. I saw another E30 M3 recently with the horn mounted on a plate screwed into the driver-side front wheel arch in the engine bay, but my car shows no evidence of a mounting plate ever being affixed there. Maybe the location changed from one year to another? or maybe it was an option that didn't come on my car. Anything is possible...

    I ran my VIN through several decoders and none listed the alarm as an option - and they wouldn't if it was standard. Unfortunately the good decoder that showed standard features as well as options is no longer working.

    Now, before you answer that "your car has one and you don't think it was an option" - please run your VIN through www.mdecoder.com and check if the alarm is listed as an installed option for your car.

    Thanks so much!

    Why do you believe that?
