Is there any security issues to be aware of on the E39? I know the E60 has it's problems with thieves being able to break in without the alarm going off, but wondering if there's anything similar with the E39?

By now the newest one is nearly 12 years old. The alarm sirens can go on them and you never know until it's too late. Also the biggest security flaw on their in my opinion is the PDC set up. Somebody can come along, unclip all your bumper trim and cut out your entire PDC system in about 30 seconds flat!
What would be the purpose of cutting your pdc system ? The alarm on them imo is perfect

Deadlocked car ,immobilised and alarmed with tilt sensor in case someone fancys your wheels

Have never heard of the alarm siren failing i have the beep on when i lock the car also so if it did fail you would notice straight away
