Question:

my car,a 1997 Bmw 540i, when i set off the factory alarm ,it doesnt make a sound, it only sets off the flasher

the alarm doesnt make a sound, it only activates the flashers.

Answer:

Depending on the material to be cut would determine the method of cutting the lock. If the lock is not hardened it can be cut with bolt cutters or a hacksaw. However if the material is hardened, grind the parts of the lock to be removed. The hardened parts of a lock would most likely be tempered to about 38 to 42 rockwell C; which is approching a spring temper. Assuming the only method to cut a lock is the use a bolt cutter is flawed and may not work at all. Cutting a hardened lock with a bolt cutter may be possible, but most likely the bolt cutter jaws will be damaged in the process.
