I find it pretty amazing that BMW sell cars in the US without an alarm fitted as standard! And even if that's the case it doesn't explain why none of my cars have ever beeped on locking, unless that too is a difference in country-specific specification.

AFAIK my E46 M3 didn't have an alarm. The clown nose blinked while locked and the flashers flashed when locking/unlocking--no sound.
