OE BMW M Coupe Alarm (P/N 65730302424) from http://www.getbmwparts.com (Tischer BMW) installed.
These cars come pre-wired from the factory so installing the alarm is pretty much plug-and-play, the car comes activated for it as well. The kit consists of the hood pin switch, alarm siren, and mounting hardware.

The plastic firewall blanket retainer was removed to reveal a square hole, the metal tab provided snaps into this hole and then the bracket is mounted.

The hood pin switch snaps into this bracket. The plastic retainer nut can then be reinstalled. The wiring for the hood pin switch is tucked behind the master cylinder, you may have to feel/look for it if it is not visible.
Once found, the tape securing it to the wiring harness and the plastic dummy plug is removed. This plug is then snapped into the hood switch connector and the wire routed back with the conduit.

Moving to the rear of the car for the siren installation, the cover is dropped for access by removing 8-8mm bolts and 2-12mm acorn nuts.

Once dropped the plug can be seen taped to the wiring harness.

Assembling the siren and mounting bracket is next, it has an alignment tab and the plug connector should be visible when bolting together.

After the wiring harness tape and dummy plug are removed, the siren assembly can be plugged in and installed onto the two studs with the supplied nuts.

The plastic cover is reinstalled and you now have a functioning alarm once you have the dealer recode for it :D
