Can someone please help me find the wire colors and locations for a 1996 BMW M3. I have looked everywhere, and even asked some of the installers in my area about the car, and no one can find it for me.

My cousin bought this car with everything already installed. He had it in storage for the winter, and during that time he lost the alarm key chain control, and now the car doesn't start because the alarm is still activated with the remote start. The previous installer never put in a valet switch, and so now my cousin wants me to remove the alarm all together. But I want the wiring diagram, so I can be extra safe. I would appreciate any help you guys could give me. Thanks
