i just bought an alarm

*edit* brand Invincible Super Duper unstealable car security system

details: under car flame thrower function

its a simple shock sensor alarm with all the standard gizmo stuff with remote engine starter

questions:

-how much am i looking at in getting it installed?

-it has central looking system, and looking at my skyline, the central locking only locks the passenger side, not the driver side. is there a way i can work around this or do i have to buy that crap that makes both doors look

-do i have any chance in doing this myself with little electronic knowledge....haha

and yes im poor, i want to find cheapest solution

but it looks like its gonna be expensive

any help appreciated.

for the passenger side you can just get another motor fitted replace the one that is currently in there. These motors arent to expensive but i would buy one through the place you get it fitted at as ive had 2 motors replaced since my alarm installation. I'm happy to say they were covered by warranty. central locking motors are bitches and sometimes break as most of them have plastic cogs

No probs with mine.. had to adjust it up a couple of times but otherwise fine.

So you have to actually use the key to unlock the drivers side? hmmm, doesn't that spoil the point of a remote immoboliser thingo dingo? I think it can be done by yourself or with some help - the main thing is just to find all the points you need to wire into. If its not skyline specific can be difficult.

Some will require pulling the door trims off, some the steering wheel guard cover, and some stuff routed thru into the engine bay for things like the alarm siren, etc.

This alarm will protect your car well because got a full sensors to protect body, windows and doors (Connected to door switch)

i still luv this engrish! :P

okay - i would say if there is already an alarm in there its going to have to be removed... then the install, which can take a bit of time with things like remote start.

I would say your looking at around $180 including door motors etc. Just a guess tho. Dont forget most these guys charge by the hour and something like this will take maybe 4hours...

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
