Do you have gps tracking?
Call bmw assist if you have that in your country and they can locate your car they can only tell the police the actual location

Yeah, our F31 330i came standard with BMW connect which I think can be used to locate your car. I'd imagine an M4 would also have it.

Hope you get it back soon.

Been trying to track the car using the BMW connected app all day and I get a message saying vehicle cannot be located.
I have footage of the car being taken. It’s like they had a key. Started the car and reversed out the driveway in 10 seconds.

Wow.

Wonder if they use keyless entry and keyless go hacks I have seen online?

All the best.

Sounds like they were professionals, if we can even use that term for what these asshats did.

Cloned key tech etc. several ways now to steal cars. Hope insurance settles ASAP.

Don't put your keys in a bowl at the front door people! YT vids of kids/gangs with a key amp to unlock the car, then a OBD key cloner. Keys in a moneybox!
