I had a fruitfull discussion with a local dealer about installing a factory alarm into my 2002 Z3 Coupe. The dealer is claiming that MY2002 were NOT prewired (only MY2001 were) and hence I need to pay ~$450 for parts. For some reason I'm under impression that it is prewired so the alarm kit should be ~$130. Can someone clarify? Thanks!

If you open your trunk there should be a round disc that says that your car is prewired for a BMW alarm. From the Pacific BMW site:

I would dump your dealer and do a self install.

I know the 2002 M coupe is prewired for alarm because I installed it in mine. It may only be for the M's though.

2002 Z3 coupe is prewired, but I think that unlike previous Z-series cars and 2001/2002 M /7 and /8 cars, dealer programming is required.
