In SA spec. BMW's, if the car is locked using the remote and then unlocked using the key, as soon as you open the door the alarm goes off.
This has to be a setting that can be enabled by your dealer. After this incident I would not ask but tell your dealers to enable this feature. Dont accept no for an answer. I have just gone outside to my car and tested it to confirm.

This is a option in the Car/Key memory that is set by your dealer.
The option is whether the alarm can be disabled by just the key in the frnt lock
For some reason USA cars allow this, this if the front lock can be turned somehow the alarm is deactivated.
Here in SA the default is that the alarm can only be deactivated by the remote, thus making the alarm go when not unocked by the remot
Your dealer CAN set this
They DO know how
it takes 5 Min
