Yesterday 1 M3, today No M3. Boo.

MacRS4 · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:08

Woke up to find that I've now got one fewer M3 than I had yesterday. Must have trailered it off - still have all the keys.

Tracker Horizon was useless - didn't notify me of any illegal movement etc.

Oh well.... Had GAP insurance and everything so other than disruption (and a couple of weeks in a Fiat 500).....it's just disruptive.

I know it's only metal, but it makes you sad hey

Second car I've had stolen - first one was an R34GTR.

Curious coincidence seeing as you wanted the new iDrive

YEAH I WENT THERE

unlucky mate.. hopefully you get it back in GOOD condition

Bugger. I feel for you - What area of London and where was it parked?

I'm just about to move to Borough into a place with an underground parking space and am still a bit worried about something like this happening.

Sorry to hear this Mac.

Bite me

Parked in London E4.

....still, on the upside it still hadn't quite finished its mission of bankrupting me.

PMKeates · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:14

What will you replace it with?

Hyburnate · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:18

7970

Sorry to hear. :/ Was you attached to it?

Cosimo · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:19

Crikey what bad luck. Sounds like they managed to jam the thing.

LiE · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:21

Bad luck dude

Time for some cctv?

Will Gill · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:22

scummy thing to happen but you have all the right cover to ensure the only real problem is deciding which car to replace it with

still a horrible feeling

MacRS4 · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:24

Realistically this ^^. Loaner being delivered tomorrow so it's not as disruptive as it could have been I suppose.

Quite like the idea of a 1M!

Will Gill · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:27

*definitely nodding with approval*

PMKeates · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:28

But a 1M has less HPs

dangermouse425 · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:28

Sorry to hear that, Mac, though on the plus side you might fall in love with the Fiat 500 and choose one of them? No one will want to steal that!

In all seriousness, best of luck with the insurance company!

Peerzy · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:28

As annoying as it is it's not the end of the world as you clearly were not 100% in love with the car (already window shopping for others) and you had all the right insurance to get your money back.

It'll work out that you owned an M3 for however long and all it cost you was the running costs.

Still I'd be so careful from now on parking whatever you get next in the same space and always checking on it!

m3ben · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:34

Gutted for you mate, its a nasty experience all round really!

1M's are epic cars, i drove one a couple of months ago and its the closest bmw iv driven to my e30 m3 in terms of handling

Freefaller · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:35

Amazing how brazen some people are. Shocking.

Hope the insurance sorts everything out and doesn't leave a big hole in your pocket!

MacRS4 · 9 Jan 2012 at 16:37

Incidentally, in reporting to the police they said they'd be around... they didn't turn up. Since 8:00am this morning. Now they're saying they'll give me a call in a few days... That's a bit off isn't it...?

Not that I think they can do much I guess.
