Maybe BMW owners can resort to a steering wheel lock.  :p

Just try to park next to a beemer.  The thieves will more likely go after it.  :winker:

I don't know, spray the Camry orange and black, and it is re-birthed as a cab, no one will find it then. The BMW could be harder to move....

I always remember on Top Gear when old mate was able to start and move a car because one of the other guys was sitting close by having breakfast. I think then key would do me fine thanks

My i30 is the keyless variety also.
