My 4-months old F30 320d was hijacked!

Oh goodness. Really sakit hati reading this. T.T

Did you have any form of tracking solution in the car, ie BMW Assist/CAPTOR/CONNEX? It seems these tracking stuff is really useful. Got it done with BMW just in case... (touchwood).

I se that you lost your phone. Is it an iPhone? Cause if you had an iDevice you can use Find My iPhone (which is very reliable so far). At least you know where the approx location is.... Not too sure about Android, heard Windows Phone also got.

Time to invest in 2 more things. Solid steering lock and BMW Driver Training. Anything just floor the right foot ny. They won't be hurt that bad cause BMW bonnets have one of the best pedestrian protection. Oh and must have smash proof tint these days...

Once again, I feel you. F30 is really nice.

We can only minimise our risk of exposure by being vigilant of our surrounding and avoid going to high risk places. However sometimes even if we try everything, it still happens, we just have to accept our fate.

Just to update all bros, Ingress finally budged on the so-called '2% service charge' for performing their rightful duty of insurance claim on my loss. First, they bargained for 1%. After hearing my threats & grumbles, they gave in & yet term it as a 'goodwill' waiver. Instead of feeling thankful, I somewhat felt exploited by their act of greed in the first place. Reconsider when you deal with them...thats my 2 cents.

Well done. This will create a precedent for other dealers to follow. Long live consumer rights.

Out of curiosity, are there any particular hotspots for carjacking that you would advise not driving around??

Also, most of these carjackings happen at night, yes and not during broadlight, I hope?

Sorry to hear about your lost bro. Thank god you and your family are okay. I really geram when i hear all this crime works and i myself worry of my family too. Its been 3 days after i pick up my car but already feeling uneasy everytime i wanted to drive out. The idea when i first thought of having the uDM is to enjoy the driving especially a nite run on the highways. Now i think the safest is just to leave the car under my apartment car park, smoke and drink nescafe while enjoying the breeze, while sitting in front of the car. If you need to go pasar or malls, drive your missus car preferably myvi or proton.

Alway plan your route and scan thoroughly of any possible hide out, curvy point or road blocks. If you need to drive make sure, the other road users or police is accessible to your rendezvous. Also if need to, for you to step on the paddle on free space..Knowing that these are the risks of buying expensive cars is one big headache. Tapi nak buat macammana, suda beli maa. My advice, If you can afford the gadgets, do install it. If you think u are smarter than those hijackers, do exercise it wisely. If you think u can run, run forest run!!!

Ok bros...do take care of your expensive rides, perhaps one can have a look-out sms alert among members if one member kena hijack. Then we can try do something for the beemer community.

Sayonara...ST: :rock:
