If his area code holds true, this might be in Maryland.

Agreed, some details at least of where it was taken and when.

If you can BMW F/S they can ping your GPS unit as long as the thieves havent disconnected it. They tracked an E39 M5 going into the Holland Tunnel for my bodyshop years and years ago.

Of course brother !
The vehicle was stolen in New York. However, as we all know a lot of stolen vehicles are either stripped for parts or shipped overseas, and Newark, NewJersey (where the shipping ports are) is quite close to New York and is a prominent location for stolen vehicles. Furthermore, these thieves could’ve moved quick and the vehicle could be in any one of your backyards. (or each individual part being sold on version’s online platforms)

My earliest gradtitude to each and every one of you in your aid within this matter !

I contacted BMW and provided all the necessary information and documentation and they sadly stated that if this had happened 1 year ago, they could’ve helped find it

BUT

Since we are currently in 2023, bmw no longer supports vehicles with 3g

BMW supported tracking of vehicles with the factory manufacturer 3g tracker up until February of 2022

And since then they have updated they’re systems and no longer support or can track any vehicle with 3g

It's not BMW wanting to stop support, its the cell carriers decommissioning the 3G towers. 4G is up next in a few years.

So sorry that your car was stolen. 3G has been discontinued by carriers so BMW had no options other than discontinue telematic services - unless the ATM module could be upgraded.

This is a reminder that keeping Apple AirTag in the vehicle is not bad idea.

Guys I understand 3G was 86’ed, I was not blaming BMW. Just saying it sucks that tech moves forward but backwards in this case for titanicM6

Right. That's why it's likely to be on a boat headed overseas.

When luxury vehicles are stolen they often end up in a shipping container to Africa. They especially like the new Range Rovers.

Thats awful!!

Have you filed a theft claim with your insurance yet?

Ever if you are able to recover it, it's debatable if you would even want it back, especially with it being in the criminals hands.

Might be good to use insurance, and start fresh.

Either way, best of luck!!
