well, the salesman said that it works exactly like lojack. you noticed the car is gone, youc all the cops, you call assist and then they go get the car back. mayeb he was mistaken.

OK, thanks..I would just check to be sure as Im not aware of any police agreements with tracking providers like BMW Assist. LoJack is different in that the police have the tracking equiptment, unlike the BMW satellite tech...

I used to get bored fast too, but when I finally got my first brand new BMW, i fell in love and am still married to her ('00 E46), though our time together is nearing the twilight ...(MY 06 E60 in mind),

plus its great to actually pay off the car... now I've had over a year w/o payments, and its nice for a change as I have had car / lease payments for the last 10 years!

good luck!

Ok.

The turtle would be the 545 compared to the M3.? I should qualify this by saying the 545 is VERY agile and runs like an olympic track star but it gets the silver medal next to the M3 (E46).? You just cant compare the two.

I think you have no idea how fast a turtle is... The turtle even beats the killer whale!

Oh yea and the "trace" function that comes with it, is supposedly located in different locations in each car.? My guess is that a choice of a few different spots that the factory chooses from.? In any event, there no way im getting lojack in addition to that system.
[snapback]62954[/snapback]
Thiefs know those locations.
