Just trying to spread the word here, taken from another forum:

Id like people to keep an eye out for a DARK BLUE BMW M6,

REGISTRATION: M6 JRX

It was stolen from his house in Finchley, london.

If anyone has some info, please call me on 07950447820

[Nickbat]

Not too far from me, I'll keep a look out. 

[Del Boy]

Apparently stolen without keys, to steal an M6 without keys takes some doing  Means it's got a smart key a push button start, tilt sensors on thee alarm etc, must be stolen to order I would've thought 

[bigboykarl]

surprised that it's not tracked..

It was, but unluckily for the owner his subscription had expired, so I would've thought this would make his insurance invalid.

Del,
Bit of a long shot but has he got BMW Assist on it, as if he has they could possibly trace it? They always know where my beemer is for the Google searches / assistance / SOS  etc. (registered by chassis number).
As you know, it's not a recognised tracker but would still do the job. 
Just a thought.  :-/

Alan,

Cheers for that mate, have just asked him, will let you know what he says, something I wanted to ask you was, my 7 series has BMW online but the subscription has run out, how much does a new subscription cost?

It's free for the first three years and then it's £120 annually for bmw connecteddrive. As I replace mine yearly I've never had to pay for it seperately. It would come in handy at a time like this because you could phone up assist and use the ' I can't remember where I parked' function and they would tell you. 

EDIT: BMW can trigger the tracker as part of bmw connecteddrive, (see note below).

Extract from their online page:

BMW ConnectedDrive - The valuable connection in case of theft.
With its integrated module and dedicated services, BMW Tracking keeps you connected to your vehicle should it become stolen. This service informs you when the alarm is activated and connects you with the BMW Tracking Call Centre staff for assistance. In the event of a theft, the tracking module can be activated. It then sends a GSM signal - only with your consent - so that the vehicle can be located and recovered

I wouldn't be at all suprised if it wasn't already in a container headed for eastern europe/asia, far too risky to keep it here with all the cameras around

That's what the guy is thinking  :-/

First thing they'll do is chuck it in a shipping container somewhere (no GPS or mobile signals) and wait for the trail to go cold.

[russ0205]

With that kind of security i would say a pro and stolen to order,
As you say i bet it was in a container within the hour,

 

[albitz]

Or already stripped for parts.

[omegod]

Well I genuinely thought these were unstealable, apart from lifting them onto a flatback, must take more than a scaffold tube and a screwdriver I bet

Iv been lately hearing a increase in thefts of bmw's 7/5's and bmw parts 3's m sport bumpers. Some one/group some where knows/has something. An Bmw should do something about it..
