My $50k 2013 328i sedan has EVERYTHING (Lighting, Premium, Driver Assistance, and Cold Weather packages in addition to HK sound, rear sunshades, and moonroof (I'm sure I'm missing a few options). Yet it isn't equipped with any lines (Sport, Luxury, M-Sport), so it looks basic on the outside and has the basic 17" 5-spoke wheels)... now it's missing a $400 factory alarm, something that comes standard on a Toyota Corolla, so my car doesn't "beep, chirp, quack, bark, or moo," as SHOPTB very humorously put it.
Grrrrr!
Still though, I love the car and I'm grateful to have it. At the end of the day it does what it's supposed to do exceptionally well: It drives like a dream.

The basic Toyota corolla does not come with an audible alarm. It's got a standard immobilizer which pretty much all cars have now but no motion sensing/glass break alarm....
