Big-time bummer! 
If they were pros, and it sounds like they were, the tracking may not work either because they'll be smart enough to not allow the car to be "seen" by the satellites...
You might be better off if they never find it since it may have been stolen to be parted out. :thumbsdown:

If BMW was smart enough to put in a backup battery just for the GPS tracking function, then they will still be able to locate it. So, even if the thief disconnected the main battery, then BMW Assist would still be able to track the car. Still sucks to hear that your beautiful ride was stolen. I will keep an eye out for it as well.

Sorry to hear about this 530ISPORT.
Makes me fucking furious.
Must be a lift into a truck, made by pros. Otherwise the car can't be stolen.
I suppose it's on a ship soon to, god knows where. :thumbsdown:
I'm afraid you'll never see it again

It's possible that a pro thief will either disconnect the GPS antenna and/or store the car in a place where the satellites can't get to it...
