Is it really THAT wise to steal the ONLY ONE IN THE FRIGGIN COUNTRY?!?!?!? Seems pretty easy to track if you ask me, besides wouldn't they come with BMW assist? Couldn't they track it?







But then again it IS in the NY Post, not exactly the best newspaper in the world

Actually, the story said that a 550i Sophisto, the only one in the country, was stolen...the story notes it was worth $90K!!! Does anyone know or ever heard of a 550i Sophisto?? I know of no other 5er than the M5 that could get into that price range, so i wonder what this was? Perhaps and Indi car?

Maybe they just wanted to be the first to drive the f10 before anyone else in america.

The article says the thieves drove off ... and hacking the electronics isn't for amateurs. I would suspect either an inside job or careless security that allowed access to the fobs for the cars that were stolen.

If they weren't actually driven off (lame reporter ?? ) who could miss these cars being flat-bedded from a secure port location. And if they were, they're probably on the way to some pre-ordered customer outside the USA.

The big question is What - No security cameras ?? ?? Hey, come on I watch CSI NY

Definitely an inside job, who would've even known they were coming in for the auto show if not someone in the know...

They are worthless without the M Sport package.
