Over the first 3 months of this year my E30 cabriolet was systemaically stripped of parts, with a blatant disregard to any security systems on the drive. First they took the BBS hubs and a few bits of trim. A couple of weeks later they took the front bumper and finally a month ago they slashed the roof and stripped out the entire leather interior (seats and all)!
I have just been told that a person in the Finchampstead area (about 3 miles from me) had his E30 cabriolet taken from off his drive.
Have to assume it was somehow unlocked and towed off.
Anyone in this area - please take Heed.[/b]

Im nowhere near, although the rise in e30 prices and their lack of security had me wondering how much this would happen.
Takes the fun out of owning one doesnt it?

I know I can on mine but not too sure about other e-30`s.
Take out the rotor arm, I did this in the 70`s to cars I had and it stopped the opertunists .
Just another obstacle in the way.
Mart.
