White Comp Pack M3 stolen Bromley area

[Dazanator]

What it says up there really - got back from work to not find my lovely E92 M3 where it had been parked this morning in Chelsfield Station Car Park.

Mineral White Comp Pack reg L90NSH just in case anyone spots it. Doubt it will still be on those plates though.

Will update when I have seen the CCTV to let you all know the M.O.

Oh that sucks, quite local too - will keep an eye out

Anything distinctive about it? Mod's etc?

I'd also be tempted to take a drive to star lane and have a look around...

Jesus, Star Lane. Looks like such a beautiful area. Drove down there a few months ago to a BMW breaker, the road was unbelievable, the entire length of this lovely country lane had been used to fly tipping, just about a mile of crap dumped at either side of the road

Pretty much standard Competition Package spec apart from Carbon intake covers on the front bumper.
Stunning car most likely stolen to order.

Where do all these supposedly stolen to order cars end up?

Eastern Europe.. broken for parts.. which are then put on ebay and bought by people in the UK upgrading their navigation, headlights, seats etc. A virtuous circle.

I'm sorry to hear that, I had the same thing happen to me back in 2012 (E92 M3, Interlagos blue)...Hope you had gap/invoice cover to ease the pain

No-one is tempted to drive down Star Lane. It certainly used to be the case that not even Ambulances/Fire Engines would go down there without a police escort, and for very good reason.

A shame that they allowed the same families to move back into the new houses they built there when the old ones were bulldozed, although I suppose keeping them all in the same place makes it easier for the rest of us to avoid.

Has anyone look at that BMW breaker then?

No, the chap is called Nick Jupp and he only deals in e46 parts. Very well known on the FB e46 groups.

Just got an account update from Dartford Crossing and I was surprised the car went through the tunnel (Northbound) at 11.29 the day it was nicked. So they hadn't even changed the plates!

Just waiting for the speeding tickets now!!

I suppose that crushes the Dover > Europe > Disappear theories. More like Oop North > Rag it > Burn it out now.

I thought standard practice was to dump the car some place local to the thief, and await anyone using a tracker to come and recover it. No recovery within a few days, move it /break it/ sell it /container it etc.

[Dazanator]

Me too and I did drive around for a while to see if I could spot it close to where it was taken from.

Could have easily been dumped on the other side of the tunnel and still be sitting there.

Sorry to hear this.

I'm quite close to Chelsfield too.

Hope they get cancer and suffer. Karma will get them.
