Cheers, hopefully will turn up. It's not your normal M6. Black wheels, front carbon splitter

Interesting Zod - I saw someone carefully scoping out your car a while back, but thought it was someone interested in buying it - made the assumption you had enough cars already & were selling..! I've just decided to stop the tracker as insurance no longer requires, and I have RTI so I wouldn't want it back. Disturbing that they don't need keys though.

I did the same with tracker, but paid up and they found it straight away.

I was talking to someone (introduced by someone I trust) at the time about selling it, but that of course went no further.

You're right that I have enough cars and should sell though!

Take dodgy documentation to main dealer and buy a new key...

They caught a gang of thieves in Bulgaria last week who specialised in high end BMWs and Audis. They were able to open the latest X5, get in and start the engine within 30 seconds. All done with electronic means and no damage to the vehicles. The police would not divulge more for obvious reasons... My dad was advised to keep his M3 parked in a manned car park owned by the mob...

I am 100% certain that their UK "colleagues" are perfectly capable of emulating the Bulgarians' "achievement"...

Seriously doubt that you can get a new key from a dealer with dodgy paperwork given that the dealers are well aware of the scam...
