i live in the city with the highest auto buglary per 100k capita. Best thing you can do is get the car tinted as dark as your comfortable with and use a windshield sun shade to prevent people from looking into the car.
its hard to steal a newer BMW...mainly because of the telematics and the gps tracking.
There was a story of someone stealing a newer 5 series, the owner called the cops...the cops called BMW and when the cops were ready. BMW found the 5 series and turned off the car and locked the doors remotely until the cops arrived. With electronic locks, electronic throttle body and electronic ignitions, its easy for BMW to send a message to the DME to lock the doors and kill the engine.
also parts for a BMW are hard to fence compared to a camry or f150. If they do steal it, it'll be more then likely for a joy ride.
