This is completely beside the point, anyone anywhere in the world can have their own OBD key programmer, you just need money. A lot (most?) of the thieves use clone devices from China / eastern Europe, not official programmers from BMW.

Are those being cloned in China / N Korea? I would think that if both the keys and cloning devices were readily available on the criminal markets (either as stolen goods or pirated hardware), we'd have an identical problem here in the USA. But we don't to my knowledge. So I kinda think it might be the general availability of keys in the EU compared to the tight dealer control of keys in the USA (and maybe elsewhere).

So the "Russian Mafia" has nothing to do with the rampant thefts of high end automobiles in Europe?

Hi guys,
Thanks a lot for your support and advices. Time to give some news of my beloved 1M. It went to my dealership for the latest software upgrade and had the automatic window-drop deleted, same for the "key less access" for opening the doors (closing and engine start is still working though). I had to specify what they had to do because they had no clue about the problem...how surprising. This done, I had the lock replaced, both keys replaced, door repainted (4 wheels as well, took the opportunity) and locked-up the car in the "secret garage" with the rest of the collection (with the "other" M-Coupe...Z3 S54). I don't plan to drive the car until I have a proper GPS tracker installed, probably next spring. Thanks again and don't forget to protect as much as possible your 1M!

Did you guys see this...thieves stole a Mercedes with a relay device...
https://news.sky.com/story/relay-cri...bbery-11145015 That's why I also store my keys inside a metal box at night...and inside a smaller metal box when I'm on the road...

The same goes for tuning, which is basically RE. A lot of these attacks, are common across a lot of wireless technologies. It would pain me a lot if mine were stolen, but that is what insurance is for.
