The sad thing about this thread is that it makes you remember the cool stuff that E53 had, and that E70 miss!! I wonder why would BMW remove a lot of cool stuff from an exceptionally successful car! for what i know, new generations should be ENHENCED not downgraded!!

As a first time BMW car owner (we have three BMW motorcycles) this was a very informative read. Thanks to everyone that contributed to my education.

Anyone know how to activate the "panic" alarm on an X5? On my 1998 M3 you hold down the lock button on the key/remote for a few seconds and the alarm sounds.

Sit on the remote when you least expect it.

Lean up against something while working on something (always gets you).

Sit the remote under something heavy while moving stuff around.



That said basically holding down a button does it. I haven't actually done it on purpose so I don't know WHICH button or buttons do it but holding down buttons definitely sets it off
