STOLEN BMW 330D Coupe BG57 URO Fulham London 30th March
Discussion
During the night of the 29th/30th of March my BMW 330D Coupe was stolen outside my house in Fulham SW6 London. I parked the car at 8pm, closed it and the next morning at 8am it was gone, no broken glass, no alarm, and I have 2 keys. When I spoke to the police on site they said it could have been someone that copied the signal/key but did not disclose much more.
I am absolutely gutted, that was our first BMW, fully loaded, bought from BMW Stephen James, serviced irrespective of cost at BMW and only had 47K miles on the clock. After 3 weeks the insurance is finally sending a cheque as it was never recovered, and it will take another 2 weeks before the money can reach our account.
I moved house on the 5th of April, which meant it was very inconvenient as I had to rent a car for few days at my expense, now going to work for the last 2 weeks taking 2 train and 1 bus costing 20£ a day and 1 hour 45 minutes each way.
My wife's friend told us about this thread, and now I am even more furious at BMW for letting us and all proud E owners down and not doing anything about it officially.
In summary we lost our pride and joy, about 2k £ from the real value of the car from the insurance, left with no car for 1 month+ without payout, insurance premium are going up and going to cost an extra 700 £ next year, and then 400£ the year after totaling about 5K£ out of pocket just because BMW E serie are a piece of cake to steal with devices easily available for anyone to buy.
BMW may have just become the Ultimate Steal-able Machine
!!!
I don't want to buy another E serie with x previous owner, that got thrashed and badly maintained,that is going to give me stress every day of my life and pay ridiculous insurance premium. BMW you have to do something now before there is no point of return!!!
I would also be happy to write to BMW management if someone could provide me their email address and be part of the group that unites to have a case in watchdog.
