Sorry for your loss. That sucks.
Btw... for all the others, I was told by someone who does coding very well... that one can "lock" the CAS on the car to just the two key fobs, that way IF someone tries to "clone a key" it will not work. I suspect this is what BMW is doing in their new SW update for the UK market. Dackel

Don't get a C63! I sold my 2012 coupe after 1900 miles. Rattling and creaking piece of shit. Traded it in on a new 550i M Sport. Couldn't be happier!

Bunch of scum, hope they get caught soon. Sorry to hear your pride and joy was stolen but how comes he opened the door so quick?, he didn't even smash the window it looked as if the car wasn't locked.

I don't get it. If they 'cloned' your key, why are the hoodied thieves pushing it home? Why not drive it home? Was that to avoid making noise?
Also, why did they come back an hour later after the first break in? Finally, Geraldo Riviera approves of this video. |

Seems like having a garage would help solve this problem...

Alternatively, wire in a single pole, single throw switch to the power wire of the ODBII port. You only use that thing during diagnostics or if you have a p3 gauge. Wire in the switch and shut the power off making it impossible for them to just jack in while in the blind spot. Hell, wire up the switch to the other side of the cabin or right next to the motion sensor.

Any truth to this? I bought my car new in January of 2010 from a BMW dealership.

PS: IMO, insurance companies should start suing BMW for reimbursement since there is a HUGE flaw in their system...
...and if an update is available that will cure this problem, then they shouldn't pay out a customer that hasn't taken the time to have their software updated...

This stolen 1M thread(back in July) makes for an interesting read! Video: My BMW 1M Coupe Stolen in 3 Min as Part of Recent UK BMW Theft Spree Using OBD http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=712717 And this is how key cloning is done. The thieves push the car down the road so the owner doesn't wake up and hear the car start up!

What I was told is that the dealer or a knowledgeable "car coder" can "lock" the DME to just the current two key fobs. Then IF someone tries to clone a new key fob into the car's DME the car will not except the new fob - and the car can not be stolen that way. As far as I know... BMW's SW update "patch" is ONLY for UK cars. I hope they roll it out to every bmw market though.
