Came out this morning to find my 320d has been taken. Real gut wrenching feeling

Please can everyone keep an eye out in the Dartford Kent area.

The car is sparkling graphite and fitted With the BMW Performance brakes and Darkline lights.

Will get pics up ASAP

Sorry to hear that man. Were the keys stolen or was it an OBD port job?

[Kerr]

Such a shame. Sorry to hear that.

Being a 56 plate, is this car too early to be an OBD theft?

[AWBimmer]

So sorry to hear this mate :-( This absolutely sucks! Fecking thieves

And yet BMW is still consistent on

'Only cars after march 07 are affected'.



OP, sorry to hear that. I hope things goes smooth.

But you should write to Watchdog asap, so they include it on tonight program and
also write to BMW so their 'efficient technical team' reconsider looking at pre-2007 cars.

Ah is that the gospel according to BMW?

Chapter 1-Verse 1:BMW wheels only crack if caused by impact or potholes,any cracking is not BMW's responsibility.

Chapter 2-Verse 1:Our cars meet the stringest of security requirements,technology is always evolving and the thieves are evolving and catching car manufacturers up.
The issue is not confined to BMW,and it's up to owners to ensure that their cars are secure.

Trusting BMW after two massive climbdowns after being exposed by Watchdog and other media,is comparable to trusting Captain Schettino to sail a liner between the Isle of Wight and the sth coast!

There are umpteen instances of pre 07 cars being stolen in the same manner as post 07 cars,the spiel from BMW is no different to the alloy fiasco,followed by the OBD - 'can't organise a piss up in a brewery' scenario,a load of PR bullshit.

[Subzero2003]

If it was stolen without the keys, i would suggest BMW need to be notified about this as their line, which i've thought was rubbish from day 1, was that only Mar 07->Sept 2010 cars were affected.

[zltm089]

Just called their customer services...before they gave me the 07 bullsh1t...i said...altho my car is 06, it has had a software update in 2010...so just book me in!....the advisor said they haven't started on the 3 series yet and that i would get a response within 7 weeks...

[fadeel]

Had

colour coded kidneys
BMW performance brakes
Darkline rears
SE Dakota trim

Real kick in the nuts its just had a full service

Anyone in the SE/London area be aware of any of the above bits comming up for sale.

As IMO this model suffers from ODB issues as there was no sign of break in on my drive and the insurance company have requested both keys to be analysed by BMW. Aparently due to the high volum of BMWs going missing my claim could take up to 8 weeks to complete which is bollocks.

[chuddism]

There.

Sorry to hear it. I hope you find it...

[1sh@Crystalwhite]

Shit! Sorry to hear mate!

I hope it gets found and the muppets get caught!

[fadeel]

Thanks much appreciated. Also the BMW Perofmance brakes discs were plain 135i discs oposed to the drilled set you get with them as standard. Will be interesting to see if any of the bits come up on ebay.
