I just e-mailed my local dealer this morning and got this reply: I hope you are well? Don't worry! This new type of electronic theft simply didn't exist when these vehicles were designed and developed. All BMW vehicles are built to meet global legislative requirements. However, BMW has always taken ...

Was waiting for that!

Gave up sleeping rough when I left the SAS! sleep with one eye open my friend!

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome.
