Talk about bad luck!
Last year BMW had four models destined to be shown at the New York Auto Show stolen at the docks.
This year, at the Detroit Auto Show, BMW appears to have been targeted again as thieves made off with a $140,000 7-series that was being transported onto a trucks from the show.
The thieves apparently just hopped in and took off before anyone could do anything about it. What’s up with BMW’s security? You’d think most manufacturers would take some sort of precaution considering they know they’ll be displaying expensive vehicles in very public places like auto shows.
Anyway, the 7-series is equipped with BMW Assit which means it’s essentially trackable by the police. So it’s likely to be found quite soon…jacked up on cinder blocks and completely gutted.
