Sorry for your loss OP.
It truly sucks to have a limited edition car such as the 1M, stolen.
If they do retrieve it, I'd get it fixed and love it all over again.
I'm sure we all differ on that point, but these are rare vehicles.
Just because it was stolen doesn't mean it can't be or won't be wonderful again.
Whatever is/was broken will get fixed and she'll be good as rain all over again.
Have you called BMW assist? That may have worked that night. But, by this time they may disabled that system, or reprogrammed it's function.
Thieves are arseholes, but they can be some smart and crafty arseholes.
BTW, those of you who want to blame BMW, come on, really?
NO manufacturer can or should be held responsible for the theft of a car they built.
It's not possible for every car made to be made 100% theft proof.
When you build a better lock, someone will figure out a better way to break it. That's the nature of thievery, they want it, they'll figure out how.
I don't see any court in the US or UK that would hold the manufacturer liable for theft.
Also, being a limited production car it's very unlikely that these 1M's will be chopped or used for parts. There isn't a big market for 1M used parts. It's likely going to some country where there is a demand for them.
On the other hand, there are plenty of 135i's in the world, and many parts from the 1M will fit, including the special M bits.
Sucks, no matter what.
