BMW X1 Stolen! Security?

[leems]

Hi All,

First time poster on here but I'm after some help / thoughts.

My wifes 2013, xline X1 was stolen off our driveway Early hours Tuesday morning and we are completely dumbfounded at how its happened....

There was no suggestion of forced entry, broken glass etc
There was no noise, dog who usually barks at everything never made a sound, bedroom window around 15ft away was wide open
Car was locked

How does this happen? Is the vehicle really that insecure? I assume some technology has been used to gain access? but why no alarm?

Driveway is on a slope so assume once gained entry would have been rolled until out the way?

Assume a proper job rather than opportunists? Has anyone experienced similar or got any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

I'm confused by some of the answers on that long thread.

would the thieves have to had created a new fob? the vehicle wasn't what I would call a keyless starter, you still had to insert the fob and press stop start.

So would the faraday cage method still work for such a key?

Obviously we are now awaiting an insurance payout, but what do I buy to ensure this wont happen again? All keys are taking on this technology now arent they?
