Agreed.
I have seen some videos on here a while ago with thefts via the odbc port, where with elaborate software and a blank key, the thieves simply programmed the blank and drove the car away. That was a 1M coupe I think, without Comfort Access, and if I recall correctly, it was in the UK where this took place. I wouldn't worry about it because if the car will get stolen it will get stolen. That is what insurance is for.
Btw at least for 2013, but others can chime in for previous years, the X6M comes standard with a car alarm, so I don't think getting a second one will make it any safer against theft.
Also in general I would think a car alarm might deter petty thieves, but not those sophisticated enough to be able to program a blank key and/or intercept and emulate wireless RFID signals to start the car, which is how the remote entry (Comfort Access) works.
