Angry BMW alarm coding nightmare!

Hello all: I am a new owner of a 2009 335i E90 & this is my first post. I bought this car in May & decided I would purchase & install the BMW alarm system. Installation was simple as the car was pre-wired-all I had to do was connect the three components. The clown nose was blinking but of course the siren didn't work so I scheduled an appointment to have the vehicle coded for the new BMW alarm. After waiting for two hours I was told there was a problem with the BMW main computer & they would have to do it all over again & this could take several hours. After waiting SIX hours there was still a problem & my car is still at the dealers. I was told the problem was not with my car but with BMW's main computer-there was a "glitch" in the system. Has anyone ever ran into this problem with coding their car for the BMW alarm system? This has turned into one of the biggest nightmares I have ever had with any car I have ever owned! Thanks for your replies, Duke.
