slither,

im on the market for an alarm and remote central locking. should i be talking to you about it then?

i wanna get one rather soon, like within the next two weeks.

yeah something got messed up when I tried to post last night???

Yeah I can help ya out does the car have central locking at the moment with the key??

If not your looking about $80 dollars a door for the c/d/l motors, as for an alarm they all come with remote central locking as long as you've got door motors, a basic alarm with one point imobilsor goes for $289 other wise I would go for the M80am there's a whole bunch in between but there all pretty similar they just cost different and have some different features, alot to explain. We can usually book it in to be done the next day and if you drop it off at 8:30-9:00 we have it back to ya mid afternoon

Sorry to but in but do you guys install Viper alarms?

Not that I've ever know we use to sell worldtech but now it's only mongoose more reliable

I think audio tech do viper but I'm not to sure

What if i brought in a viper alarm that ive bought elsewhere, would you install it for me?

yeah we would but my boss usually charges a fair bit to fit other alarms anywhere between about $200 and $400

Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a good place to get an alarm and immobiliser installed. Are any of the major shops like JB Hifi/Autobarn/Strathfield good, or would places like BDL in Braddon be a better go?

Cheers

i didn't know that BDL had a shop in Braddon or is this have to be Braddon Car Stereo in braddon

A heads up on alarms. I've heard of a couple of people who get flat batteries after leaving the car unused for a fortnight. One found out he had his turbo timer relay wired up incorrectly. The others still have problems.

It's really unhealthy for the battery if it gets flattened too many times. And really annoying. Oh. And if someone steals your car, the alarm won't go off :blink:

If you're going to leave the car sitting for long, make sure you get an alarm that doesn't draw too much power, and that it is fitted by someone competent.

    • 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.
