<e36> Alarm Problems and (young drivers, obvious point overlooked)

Hello Digesters,

My e36 alarm (3 weeks old) had it first false alarm yesterday. I was 
mid-afternoon, over 100 degrees, parked in the sun, sunroof tilted 
up...I was standing about 100 feet from the car, and it just started 
going off. So, I closed the roof and rearmed the alarm. Has anyone 
really resolved this problem yet (short of putting a different alarm in 
the car)???

Alot of parents out there buy cars for their youngsters. So, money being 
a relative thing, what's the difference between someone (parent) with an 
income of $50K buying his/her child a $5K car, or a parent with a $500k 
imcome buying their child a $50k car. A few years ago, just out of 
college, I think I mentioned that I couldn't ever imagine buying 
(myself) a car for over $30k, now 3 years later and a better income 
later, I just purchased one for over $40k and am looking for a SUV to 
add to the stable. Think of this as the Dean 'Theory of Relativity'...
