Is the e90 alarm beep delayed like on the Audi A4?

On the A4, when you click "lock" on the key fob, the doors lock immediately but the confirmation beep does not sound until almost 2 seconds later. It's sort of annoying.

Is the e90 the same way, or do the doors lock and the alarm beep immediately after pressing lock on the key fob (or the door handle for Comfort Access)?

It is delayed.

Just installed the alarm and yes it’s delayed. I wonder if all Bmw alarms are delayed like that.

What is the purpose of the stupid delay? It makes no sense!

Gfdimopo, did you pay extra for the alarm when you bought the car? If not, you probably don't actually have the alarm we are talking about.
