I had an E70 but it got pinched, so was a little worried. Apparently that's an issue with earlier cars. It was a 57 plate.
Nope, any modern car is vulnerable to keyless car theft. It's even worse for keyless entry systems like BMW's 'Comfort' spec because the key is constantly pinging the vehicle and easier to get a relay transmitter off it. You should put the keys in a faraday pouch to avoid this. Also use a Stoplock as a deterrent, it's enough of a pain for them to move on to an easier target. I know this because mine was the only E70 40d without one on the street when it got nicked!The Stiglet said:
