This is my pet peeve with BMW. I had a 335i before the MINI Cooper MCS I'm driving now and the 335i didn't have an alarm and therefore didn't have an audible sound when it locked. I made sure to order the alarm on the MINI. I just ordered a 228i and got the alarm again just to get the sound. The cheapest Japanese cars have figured out how to make the horn beep when you lock it, but you have to pay BMW $400 to get that sound. Annoying! But in any case the alarm will pay for itself in insurance savings.
