The key fob range is pretty far, I could lock/unlock my car from inside the mall to the parking lot, which is like 500ft, give or take.
However, BMWs doesn't get stolen like that, here in the US.
Most cars get stolen here because the idiot owner left the key fob, in the car..
I know of this guy who left his Tesla Model S in his driveway, with the key in it. Some kids stole it and then just ditched when it ran out of battery charge. And that's a typical car theft story here, with the advent of modern automotive security, such as the immobilized chip. It's not as "Gone In 60 Seconds" as the guys in the video.
Those thieves that stole that M2 knew what they when for and what they were doing. That can was going get a new key fob, re-vin and probably shipped out to Dubai, for immediate sale.
