    By what means did they steal it mate? I will keep an eye out, have you circulated on social media etc? My brothers golf was found because of facebook.

    They stole it via the OBD scam, my M3 was 2011 so didnt have the updated software.

    Broke the lock out, plugged a laptop into the OBD, scammed a new key, job done.

    The car has been found and recovered, no damage but will be having a full forensic by the police and then sent to BMW to be fully checked etc.

    It was tracked by BMW in Germany - Wonders of technology.

    Happy to hear the news and really pleased it wasn't damaged. Normally the scum bags dont care but it sounds like these guys were probably looking to sell it on.

    This is terrific news and nice to know that BMW can track some cars. I guess that whilst in the care of your local BMW merchants you'll now get the update done, just in case!

    Let's hope the 'old bill' get enough evidence to find the scum who perpetrated the deed. (But I don't suppose they'll go down for it even if they're caught)

    Car was found in Essex - There's a surprise......

    The Scumbags just abused it, clearly don't know how to drive as the front passenger wheel was smashed and snapped the steering arm, lost control probably.

    The scumbags trashed it inside, rip parts of interior out, ripped all the boot compartments out, trashed the front and rear bumper.

    Dirty scaghead scumbags that deserve nothing in life.

    They are scum. Probably from the South Essex area or even East London. You can only put it down to a distinct lack of intelligence otherwise why would people do this sort of thing.
