WAIT!! I remember BMW can chase the car using its GPS, the same technology to open your door remotely. Have you called BMW for help? I was told it is similar to lojack. The thing is, do you have navigation system in your car?
Give it a try bro.
Give it a try bro.

Highly unlikely...but I'll keep an eye open for it in Minnesota. I'll be in Chicago next week and will keep my open for it there too. Sorry to hear about your loss though...I had rims stolen a few years back and was pretty rattled after that...I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through right now.
I can't imagine what you must be going through. I hope they catch those bastards! You made all your loan payments on time right? JK

My Ride: 520i SE, 04, 18" 245s, Sapphire Black, Cream leather.
Sadly this looks to me like it was stolen to order and if thats the case then it's gone.
I put barriers behind my porsche when I got it and the guy said it will make no difference.
They come allow in a lowlowder with lifter, lift the car up and out and then drive off.
They worry about the alarm and immobiliser in south africa or where ever it ends up.
I've heard stories about cars behing bars and the wifes car out front and they come hoem to find the nice car gone and the wifes car in behind the bars.
anything can be stolen these days. The Alarm is just for the opportunist theives out there.
