can anybody tell me how to set a stock alarm? its the one thats on the key
thanx:)

Can you elaborate a bit more?

Normal oporation is to simply push the lock button on your key fob. The alarm, as far as I'm aware, sets automatically as soon as you lock it and disables as soons as you unlock...either that it's when you doublelock but I can't remember if the E38's had the doublelock feature.

i bought the car and he replaced the batteries.....so the alarm is not programed......i need to program the remote to the car

Page 168 of your manual if you have it, it's easier that way...that link is for a 1997, i might be the same.
