Hey all, I just took delivery of my 2021 M2 Comp, and was going through the car and noticed this attached to my battery in the trunk. Does anyone recognize it?

Thank you

Clearly a Russian spying device… beware!

I knew it! Hope it takes pics, it’s dancing time.

Definitely some extra BS in there that needs to come out. Probably a dealer-installed tracking device if I had to guess.

Here's what your battery and surrounding area SHOULD like - unmolested '21 shortly after I brought her home..

[gurusaint]

My guess is probably a hot wired device like dash cam hdd or something was wired to the battery. Like others have said, it needs to come out stat. Lol

+ 1 on probably a dashcam thing that will shut off cam when battery goes under a certain voltage

Apparently, the previous owner really didn't appreciate paying tolls or automated speed/red light tickets.. 😗

Thanks and that previous owner is a lightweight; here in NYC, they get to the root of the problem and just shoot at the speed/red light cameras to avoid future tickets. 📸🔫

Yea but the dude Mozambique Drill the camera body and still missed the lens.. 🫤

Whatever, I still say he's doing God's work; the speed limit is 25mph and those speed cameras are literally on every other block here, in place as sheer revenue generators, not public safety..

Do you know how difficult it is to drive a BMW (or any other modern vehicle) under 25mph.. I couldn't do that even if I was pushing one..

Shoot on buddy but maybe work on that aim.. 😗

The cameras are everywhere now. Btw cameras and potholes its a horrible place to drive. I drove down once, never again

He has a horrible shot

Also, seems crazy to use a gun that's so loud to do that lol I would have thought there was some infra red light that disables the cameras by now or have I just watched too man Mission Impossible fims

I found a device in my 2021 M2C as well.

I of course took it out, then found the name and part number and googled it. It was a LoJack device, obviously installed by dealer. BMW didn't do it, because they already have a GPS locater in the car anyway. That and they would of had a better install.

the device said "Spireon"

Yea, I agree, he shouldn't quit his day job - which ironically is probably what he was doing at 3am.

Hypothetically speaking, if I was him, I would just run up on the pole, with my "Covid mask and gloves" on of course 😉 and some bolt cutters and just clip every wire in sight. Then smear Karzy glue on the lens for good measure. That way I could save my bullets for the Armageddon. 🤓

Also, the criminals here are fearless, they don't care if shots within the city limits are audible or if they get caught, they do what they got to do.

There was an another incident just two months after this one, at another location, where 16 shots was fired at another speed camera. This time at least he knocked the camera and I guess he learned a valuable life lesson from the last attempt - always remembered to pack an extra fully loaded clip.

Spireon is a company and device that some dealerships used in order to get approval for subprime car loans (risky credit buyers).

It's a tracking device that works with a cellular data connection, that connects to ignition, which can track the movement of the vehicle and disable the starter, so they could easily locate, disable and repossess the car if the buyer is defaults on the loan.

I've heard NY is crazy but I didn't realise it was to that extent.

There's a saying here in England 'You ain't hard unless you're from the Bronx' Guess it's true after all haha

Update. It's a company called stargard. It's a theft recovery gps tracker
