That's harsh. If I was attempting to do something regarding new or approved used BMW or BMWs that have been stolen using reprogrammed keys to affect search engines, I would probably have used more then just the words BMW, approved used, new, stolen or reprogrammed and included others, such as ultimate driving machine, 3 series, 5 series, 1 series and Z4, not to mention efficient dynamics, vanos and any number of other i-drive style new and approved BMW related shenanigans.
Nope, in my case I was just using the issue of stolen new or approved used BMWs to highlight that this thread is, mainly, about people using reprogrammed keys to steal BMWs, be they new, approved used or just plain old new M6 ultimate driving machines.
Golly gosh, I just happened to search for BMW stolen using reprogrammed key and this thread was the second hit on google.Nope, in my case I was just using the issue of stolen new or approved used BMWs to highlight that this thread is, mainly, about people using reprogrammed keys to steal BMWs, be they new, approved used or just plain old new M6 ultimate driving machines.

Surely a large prestige firm like BMW, that prides itself on not having cars stolen by a programmable key, only to have that BMW stolen by a programmable key would cause BMW alot of issues?
I'd certainly hate to own a 2007- BMW that could get stolen by that key.
I wonder what BMW will do about the rise in stolen BMW's?
not good OP.
nice posting above.. google link takes you directly to this page tho rather than page 1..
so probably worth a re-link to the original video, of the new or approved used BMW or BMWs that was stolen using reprogrammed keys

BMW, I would imagine, if the conversation on the internet is about stolen BMWs or BMWs that get stolen, using reprogrammed stolen BMW keys used to steal a BMW that will become stolen, they (I mean BMW), would not be happy at all.
Stolen opportunities for sales because of BMWs stolen due to reprogrammed BMW stolen keys will not be what the doctor ordered.
Hopefully no search engines looking for BMWs will mistake this thread for new BMWs or approved used BMWs or secondhand BMWs or even any BMWs for sale or in fact any BMW anywhere that is sold, new or used. This is clearly a thread about new and used BMWs being stolen because BMW (new and used) keys are being reprogrammed and allowing the new or used BMW (approved or not) to be stolen.
I don't think I quite understand what you are saying, could you perhaps clarify?? Maybe by mentioning more keywords?!Stolen opportunities for sales because of BMWs stolen due to reprogrammed BMW stolen keys will not be what the doctor ordered.

Just for clarification 10PS, would you say this issue has anything to do with the following catagories:Nope, in my case I was just using the issue of stolen new or approved used BMWs to highlight that this thread is, mainly, about people using reprogrammed keys to steal BMWs, be they new, approved used or just plain old new M6 ultimate driving machines.
Ultimate Driving Machine, Vanos, 1 series, 3 series, 5 series, 7 series, E90, E91, E92, Reprogramming keys, OBD
Or is this thread purely to emphasise that the majority of ultimate driving machine drivers in this thread are having to keep an eye out for their 3-series and their potential having to use the OBD to reprogramme their keys?
Thanks for clarifying this BMW issue.

OK! 
Would any BMW owners out there be interested if I was to supply (and fit?) an OBD socket which would (probably) blow up the thieving scumbag's kit and relocate the 'real' one?
Hey - that was half my idea!! I demand 50% stake in all profits.Would any BMW owners out there be interested if I was to supply (and fit?) an OBD socket which would (probably) blow up the thieving scumbag's kit and relocate the 'real' one?
Anyway - simply wiring the pins to 12+ won't work - the interface is protected against miswired muppetry.
I'm thinking the data pins would be more effective with several thousand volts
So,
One of those £1 electronic fly swatter things from Poundland.
Rip out the circuity/inverter.
Some form of on/off sensing mechanism.
Plug in reader = ZAP!
This idea definitely © Dr Doofenshmirtz 2012
So I had a chat with the head BMW service manager at the BMW dealership recently and he told me that 'not many' had been stolen in the West Midlands area. Slightly economical with the truth and did the usual 'we're investigating'. They claimed they were not allowed to alter the OBD socket due to regs but would like to and were pointing people in the right direction.
OP: anyone tried to get fingerprints off the camera lens? He clearly touches it. It's pretty decent CCTV actually.

TBH A cover over the socket fitted with a couple of screws would probably be pretty effective as it would increase the time taken to gain access, especially as they would have to remove the screws by 'feel' and stand a good chance of triggering the alarm sensor while trying to get a driver into the screw!

Why not put a sensor on the port. If the car thinks it's alarmed and the doors are shut when the port is accessed, trigger the alarm?If you google "BMW security" the 8th result is this:
