sorry to the guy who lost the vehicle. But i wouldnt be surprised if a whole new key was fully programmed and made (mobile) just from gaining the VIN number.

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..  >:( >:(
I an ideal world.  But would there be BMWs in an ideal world? ;D  It would all be Omegas of course.

As it happens, when someone steals a BMW bumper (to take your example) BMW parts department are likely to make a sale, just not to the right person.  In this day and age of "money counts over everything else" there is little incentive for them to spend time and resources on making them less nickable.

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 :o


A guy I know had his Porsche stolen over a wall in a 'secure' parking area. When the Police watched the CCTV they saw the thieves using a HIAB lorry and slings around the wheels. If they can steal a car over a six foot wall what chance have you got.  :-/

Sadly as already said it's probably in a shipping container & hi ab car theft is rife. One of the banger tracks i raced at years ago got busted. They took away an XJ Jag that was barely a year old!!!! :o
