[///Samson]

Im always afraid some asses will jack my wheels or my entire car. I dont know how good the keys with the chip in them. They can probably steal the car but it takes a while right? Thats why i use the code function.

I think the coded keys make it pretty hard to steal the car (though with some large and expensive equipment the code can be grabbed off your key as long as they are within a foot or so, and in laboratory conditions. They could of course always flatbed it away. As far as the wheels, a long time ago my dad once got some wheel lock samples from a guy who owned a metal working shop. My dad went around to some dealers to see if any were interested but nobody was. We have the metal working shops number...somewhere. They are the best damn locking bolts I have ever seen.

just seeing things like this get me pissed , people may work hard to earn such a car and some guy looking to make a buck has no respect for another's property, try stealin from then however, they'll wanna jack you up for trying or hunt you down when you do steal from em. Just imagine how bold and braizen some human beings can be.

That sucks bigtime, but one thing I don't unerstand, if i'd own an M5 i'd buy those "lock"nuts (the one you can't remove without special tools). A friends of mine owns an Audi a4 2.3 v5 turbo and they stole his RS4 rims, he went out to buy new ones and the guy at the dealer told him to purchase them special bolts, only bad thing is that you can't remove your own wheels either, unless you have the special tools but thieves won't be able to steal them either. but finding your M5 like this makes you want to start a manhunt..

[marlinspike]

You can get around those locking wheel bolts. Well, maybe you an I can't, but on another forum there was once some discussion on how they can be defeated by any crook who knows what he's doing.

[Amit325i]

You are right there is a way, but i am not gona discuss it here LOL. Suffice to say pros know what they're doing.
