Hi All,

I am away on business and cannot get back to the morning. Our M340i Estate was stolen off the drive this morning, they also smashed the rear door and stole other things from the house. The police are been there usual self and making no effort even though I have said when the connected drive had the car 1 hour after been stolen and hasn't moved.

Does anyone live near this postcode and could help check if the car is actually there?

Looking to the amazing support of pistonheads on this one!

44 Ryefield Road, London, SE19 3QU

I'm only responding so as to put the thread back up to the top. In an emergency I could get there some time tomorrow but I see you're back tomorrow anyway. Crap situation, I would hate to be stranded remotely knowing there's something wrong at home.

Hopefully PH can deliver, and hopefully you can get everything sorted and safe. I know for a fact that there are PHers within a few miles of that address, just depends whether they are free and reading this.

Metallic Blue. GJ69 XZV

Worried they have now disabled it as the remote unlock etc are not working, the last time of the update was lunchtime, so expect it is now probably somewhere else

Gutted, we had only had it 2 months and had planned a trip round Europe in the spring in it. Waited ages for the right spec and deal.

This is the second car stolen in the past year. First was my M5. This time we always put the keys in a magnetic pouch, clearly next time I will be leaving them outside the pouch as they didn't break in last time...god know what the insurance will be now, lost my no claims last time, probably back to zero.

Proper gutted.

I got my 320d back this way... when Connected drive came up with an address I told the police and they went to have a look straight away. Strange that they won't do this for you.

On the road - just driving down - I’d you can try and set alarm/flashers off etc - even if it shows as offline

Can’t offer much other than saying I hope you get it back OP. Fingers crossed it’s parked up somewhere first to see if it’s being tracked etc.

Thank you so much for this!

I presume they had found a way to turn off the location device. Suspect they took it there to somehow disable it before driving it somewhere else.

Sorry to say Op I can’t see it. Driven round a
Couple of times / nothing in the road/drives matches a 340 estate in Blue ......

Driven round the surrounding roads as well - but nothing on them either.

Can BMW say when last contact/update was the f it’s showing as boot left unlocked etc.

Sorry not the result you were looking for - hope the bar stewards have a nasty painful Accident ...

Call the police and mention operation cundall. Ive not used it personally but have read about it being successful on the baby BMW site.

Basically you get a form emailed from Germany, this absolves them off all legal responsibility and GPDR etc etc and they can then reactivate the gps tracking even if it is turned off in the idrive. BMW Germany can then tell the uk police where the car is.

Of course this is all assuming they aren’t using a cheap gps jammer.
