By what means did they steal it mate? I will keep an eye out, have you circulated on social media etc? My brothers golf was found because of facebook.

They stole it via the OBD scam, my M3 was 2011 so didnt have the updated software.

Broke the lock out, plugged a laptop into the OBD, scammed a new key, job done.

The car has been found and recovered, no damage but will be having a full forensic by the police and then sent to BMW to be fully checked etc.

It was tracked by BMW in Germany - Wonders of technology.

Happy to hear the news and really pleased it wasn't damaged. Normally the scum bags dont care but it sounds like these guys were probably looking to sell it on.

This is terrific news and nice to know that BMW can track some cars. I guess that whilst in the care of your local BMW merchants you'll now get the update done, just in case!

Let's hope the 'old bill' get enough evidence to find the scum who perpetrated the deed. (But I don't suppose they'll go down for it even if they're caught)

Car was found in Essex - There's a surprise......

The Scumbags just abused it, clearly don't know how to drive as the front passenger wheel was smashed and snapped the steering arm, lost control probably.

The scumbags trashed it inside, rip parts of interior out, ripped all the boot compartments out, trashed the front and rear bumper.

Dirty scaghead scumbags that deserve nothing in life.

They are scum. Probably from the South Essex area or even East London. You can only put it down to a distinct lack of intelligence otherwise why would people do this sort of thing.

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.

      105C thermostat replacement

      As I understand the wiring diagrams and operation Item 9 on the thermostat housing is the sensor which sends its signal to the ECU for interpretation with information from the map sensor. Information from item 12 (1st drawing ) is also used to provide average temp across the cooling system. As far as I am aware the Thermostst is independent of the sensors and operated by expanding wax material internally

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Errr not clear here Donald Plastic "L's" with short rubber hoses ??? Distilled water/Ionised water should only be used in an old style lead acid battery. The Rad and engine coolining system should be filled with the correct coolant mix to prevent cavitation and the danger of freezing in low temps. Coolant should be part of the cars regular maintenance and changed every 3 years or so. At that time all hoses and connectors should be inspected and changed where necessary to keep everything in tip top condition. Changing parts can cause as many problems as you may think your solving

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.
