Another idea: removal of fuse #36 (START/STOP)
Hi Dackel,
In our quest for creative solutions, here's another idea: removal of fuse #36:
So thieves might be able to push the car off the driveway (eventually after reprogramming the key via the OBD port), hop inside the car and have a good laugh about the easy theft ...but then the thief at the steering wheel will realize that the START/STOP button is brain dead. Fuse box 1M: Fuse box of your 135i:

For starters make a metal plate and fix it before the OBD port with anti theft screws. That will complicate things enough if their out for a quick steal.

Thanks
Cheers - have spoken to a number of victims - I'm actually interested the data you've seen - we're trying to get a handle on the scale of the problem, beyond the individual cases....

Sorry that info I posted was taken from the pistonheads thread but appears a number of people who had posted stats have removed their postings.
