Parked up last night at approx 1am, a few doors before my house. Locked up and went in. Came out this morning to no car! I am gutted - only had it a since Aug. The keys have always been in the house or on my person so never in a position of compromise. Reported it and hoping it'll get recovered but I guess there is a very slim chance of that. What a great Christmas!

If you're in the London/Essex area and happen to see it by any chance...although something tells me it's on a ship sailing to a new home or parked in a back street garage waiting to be stipped. Damn them!

Yours, gutted!

Sorry to hear that. Both keys still in the house or were you burgled as well?

Seeing how easy it is to reprogram the car and keys on an X5 (vids even on youtube) putting cars on a flatback to get them to somewhere quiet before doing the deed is worth it to people who stand to make 15-20k a time.

Great looking car and I'm very sorry to hear this. Shame, we still have low life scum who take pleasure in ruining other peoples' lifes.

I hope you get it back but I guess it's in some lock up or on route to some other country now.
I hope it doesn't get you too down with christmas being around the corner.

But putting it on a flatbed should activate the alarm! At least it does on my M5, as we trailored it back when I bought it, and I locked the car, and the second we drove a metre, the alarm was going mad!

Unlucky OP.. I hope it's found frown

No keys stolen & I'm presuming the alarm didn't go off, if so I'd suspect somebody has a spare key for the car. Time to be checking with your suppling dealer and BMW GB's records for a key request. Expect a few questions from the insurance company too.
