the way I said that was confusing so I'm glad we got to clarify. No thanks needed, just trying to use this sad occurrence to spread some hopefully helpful information. Sucks it's gotta be this way, but that's people for you.

My 19 was stolen from dealer I traded it at and they cloned the fob it seems. They just drove it off the lot. Onstar tracked it until onstar was disabled. Crazy how easy they are to steal.

It is what it is waiting on insurance now, and it was an auto.

I wish I knew the car had that feature I would have definitely used it. Definitely going to check it for the other cars. But I wonder if there is something that made it easier to take, my brothers m4 was parked in front of the Camaro but they left it alone.

Snackbar Racing installs immobilizers on the ZL1's. They are located near Dallas, TX if anyone is interested. I'm glad I drive fast so that if I'm "targeted" they may not be able to keep up and follow me home. And I keep the ZL1 in the garage.

I feel bad for the OP that got his car stolen. That's a real bummer man :(

Sorry this happened to you.
Apple Air Tag is an option for tracking.

Additional context: I don’t have a driveway so it was parked right in front with a camera watching it, didn’t matter. I believe it was targeted
Well. U live in LA! It’s time for u to move! And u were targeted!
They don’t steal Prius’s in LA.🙄

I don’t believe BMW allows their vehicles to be stolen as easily as the Americans. Hence the price difference

Testing out devices available from Amazon and eBay, the Mail managed to break in to and ‘hack’ a Ford Fiesta in less than two minutes. In another test, Germany’s ADAC discovered that some brands are more at risk than others, with BMW and Peugeot systems being particularly easy to hack.

Sure.. bmw are the beez kneez

Yeah not what I said but glad we can draw such definitive conclusions. I was more alluding to the fact that you aren’t hearing about all the BMW powered M cars being stolen are you? No it’s not just YouTube making kids go steal hellcats. The manufacturers making it so ridiculously easy was more my point.

If the thieves have an iPhone they will get a pop-up on their phone if they are close to an airtag that isn't registered to their phone and is moving with them.

this was a voiced concern years ago. lots of technology and new cars offering 0 resistance to theft. scary where it will go from here with driving automation in both cars and trucks.

they'll be stealing cars without ever even seeing them.

Yea, hold the lock and unlock buttons for four seconds, but you have to disarm the alarm system before starting it.
