Default Stolen BMW M3
My black 2017 M3 was stolen form my driveway overnight.
I’m in the Laperouse area of Sydney.

Sorry to hear man , can only hope your well insured. No worse feeling than having your pride and joy flogged by oxygen thieving scumbags.

Surely with the keys? '17 M3...? If insured well might be better you never see it again.

No keys and the car was running and being reversed out the driveway in 10 seconds. It’s like they had a key somehow.
C63 and now this taken in similar circumstances from the area.

Humm… the insurance company will have lost it's sense of humour by now, I think you need a good lockup garage

That video may interest anyone who owns a push button start car.

Hopefully your car doesn't see the same fate as the stolen GLE63 in Sydney yesterday.

Post it with pictures of the car if possible to this thread https://fordforums.com.au/showthread...len+car+thread Many of us watch this thread and re-post the info on Facebook where it more likely to be noticed and more widely circulated.

I doubt it would be seen again which depending on your view of things is good or bad.

I saw your posting on bimmerforum as well.

Strange how there is no trace of your car via the BMW Connected App.

How long after it disappeared until you tried tracing its location?

Cheers,

Cheers,
Car was taken at 3:03, I left for work at 6:30. The dealer has told me the tracking can be switched off.

Sounds like a targeted "professional" theft.
