My X6 M50D Stolen
I've had two X6's. I had an X6M in white with black wheels, which was awesome, but I do a fair bit of driving so constantly filling it up annoyed me. I traded it in and got an X6M50D which was stolen on Monday night.
It was fully loaded and I left everything on it as factory. They took the car, most probably with an OBD kit and it's probably left the country now. If you happen to see one of these, please holler. Pictures attached. Last edited by fidelxan; 12-03-2014 at 05:17 AM.. |

So the question comes up, how did they steal it ? Have to wonder if crooks are using electronics to get into these (as was reported previously). Did you report to BMW so then can try to locate (if fin not broken off) ?
I have real time tracking hidden in mine(also had in previous X6), I don't want to deal with insurance company for a replacement. I want to be able to hunt them down.

I didn't realise BMW could locate the car via the fin.
I phoned up the dealer who I bought the car from, the cheeky bugger said to me "well, looks like you're in the market for a new BMW then!". I'm going to blog about my experience. The nerve. I'll call BMW tomorrow, my insurance company already know, so it's too late for that. |

The fin contains the antenna that gps/BMW assist uses to locate your position. It's the first thing professional thieves break off.
