New Bm's easy to nick?

No wait you could nick them with a chewed lollipop stick lol
The Internet - It has proven to be worthless, and is nothing but a repository for perverts.

Hidden or anonymous switch connected across the fuel pump wire, downstream of the fuse, will be as effective on the latest BMWs as it is on an E30.

So. Exactly how does that work? Not that I'm out to steal a 1M. But how can an electronic slaved key with a push start car be so easy to steal?

I'm assuming that there is some sort of override issue with inserting the blank, and then fiddling around with something somewhere else.

But still. 2mins is not a long time when your prize 1m is being wheeled of down the road.
