Mate of mine who is an auto electrician fits a lot of these.

Not a tracker , but a stop them take in first place.
I wanted one for my E46 M3 but it's too old.

Tracker offered to me was a smart track where the key card had to present or an alert sent if car moves say 300 yards.
Better still, police can immobilise the car if stolen.
Didn't see the appeal of a tracker that did anything less, longer the scum have the car the more damage they can do or use it in crime.

Any reason you don't want to use the built-in system, that will show you on your phone where it is?

Because I'ts likely to be about as easy to defeat as everything else security related in the M2. Open doors: 30 seconds. Start engine: 5 seconds. Bye bye M2.

Get a separate immobiliser too.

You can switch off the inbuilt tracking using idrive. I doubt the thieves are quite so stylus add too leave it active.

All trackers can be defeated in 2 minutes flat, get the ghost IF you want to keep the car.
Most Insurance companies are dropping the "tracker required clause" LV are as all my previous "M" and "RS" cars required one but not any more my current 2017 M3 CP did not need one.
