RECOVERED: 2008 BMW 550i

[sasukekun]

.

[pf0sh0]

Fucked up, g/l :banghead:

[Sprinter]

Have any idea what area this car could be in right now... what area did it get stolen from?... this might help narrow down where to look... in any case I hope the bastards who did this get what they deserve

[sasukekun]

.

[JordanAndrew]

I will keep an eye out for sure

[blinkme_210]

Sucky deal, good luck with it all.

Shouldn't be too hard to find, not a lot of 2008 550i's on the road, which is different than 2007 550i's, because those do not come standard with the M-Tech kit.

[Senseiz]

So the car was stolen using it's key that someone at the party took.....


There shouldnt be a hard list to narrow down who did it I hope, unless your brother invited the entire NW quadrant of Calgary..


Will keep them eyes open though.

[Mibz]

There's a teenager in the NW shitting himself right now because there's a stolen $60,000 vehicle in his alley.

[tc3]

Hope u get it back...BUT let us know your dads reaction.

[sasukekun]

.

[peterparker]

goodluck on finding it, sorry to hear, and those kids must be prettty damn stupid because it will be pretty easy to narrow it down to who stole it.

BMW can track down the car with the SOS feature...whats the problem with doing that

[gp36912]

I thought that car had a tracking system in it...

[WiltonKillz]

yeah, Cant bmw Track the car...?

[7thgenvic]

I know they can....its one of the features of all new BMW's.

[SR240SX]

I saw a beamer that looked like that last night going up shag around like 1030-11..so dont know if that would be it but who ever was driving it was trying to drive up the hill the stopped and put theyre hazards on...the car was parked on shag for a while. But again i have no idea if this was the car..i didnt get a clear look at it but it was a newer beamer like that style:dunno:

[GT4rally]

And people wonder why no one wants to have parties at their houses! Maybe if people had a little respect for the party thrower's property, there might be a lot more house parties.

I think you will likely get the car back... I just hope you catch those no respect pricks too.

[kvanderlaag]

Damn, if I had've known there was a house party going on, I would have brought my pickaxe!

Shitty luck, man. Hope you get it back, I'll keep an eye out. I'm up there every now and again.

If it does have a tracking feature in it, definitely give 'er!

i think you guys should leave the pick axe comments to your selves, a kid was killed not to long ago and its not funny at all.

[CrazyRicochet]

That's messed up, man. Some people, I tell ya. Just cause of a party? ffs, calm down and go home. No need to jack someones car to prove a point. The only point proven was that they're plain dumbasses, lol.

I'll keep an eye out for it. Hope it turns up for you, mate. Good luck with that. =)

[TYMSMNY]

$105,000 for a 550i! wow...

How much are your dad's lease payments?

It has online vehicle tracking I believe.

Pickaxe and pitchfork are two different things.
Read what I posted and had commented on before jumping to
the conclusion that im being disrespectful towards the pickaxe inccodent.

Did you call the cops?

[7thgenvic]

WHATTTT....so the car is found...?

[sasukekun]

[4lti7ude]

Oh some kids are gonna get messed up tonight

[max_boost]

I'm surprised word hasn't spread as to who jacked the car.

That is such a nice car, forget about settling this the civilized way, those kids need a good beating, same with your brother!!

[jdm_eg6]

GO GO GADGET BEYOND.CA!! I hope they get cought!!

[hingkit]

Crowfoot Theatres ....

Didn't call in because wasn't sure about the plates at the time ...
But 100% sure now plates match those 172 rims stand out .... its the one ...
vehicle is gone now as of (5min ago) ... I just looped back

Seems more like a joyride than anything ... 4 kids in it ..

[sasukekun]

.

[4lti7ude]

SO did someone call the cops?!

[hingkit]

Pm'd you my # and details me ...

Hope these kids get caught.

[roopi]

If it is possible to track the car how is it still missing? :confused:

[bashir26]

^^ seriously. doesn't BMW GPS track these cars somehow. or does that feature not work?

[sasukekun]

.

[LongCity]

Why do the tracking comments keep getting ignored?
So can or can it not get tracked?!

[max_boost]

IS THE VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A TRACKING SYSTEM?

[sasukekun]

Because it probably doesnt. $105,000 BMW and doesn't get a tracking system lmao

[BrknFngrs]

Be sure to post pics of your dad beating your brother silly :thumbsup:

[hingkit]

Does BMW Assist track my vehicle's location?

"YES - If you request Stolen Vehicle Recovery service by calling (888) 333-6118 after filing your police report."

[cmodem]

wow bmw moves quick how f'ing hard is it after a police report is filed the owner calls in. You locate it and cops go to recover.

Wait there's probably a 5-10 business day turnaround before the cops go to check out the location bmw tells them. Or wait maybe bmw has to process all sorts of stuff and in 6-8 weeks will find the location.

:thumbsdow on useless bmw feature

[7thgenvic]

so im guessing the car still isn't found...BRUTALLLLLL>........

[BlkMaxima]

Stupid kids, they might as well turn themselves in.

If their dumb enough to be driving around in the same city they took it from and not even change the plate. It's only a matter of time.

From my experience having any vehicle stolen sucks, but I would actually rather have them write the car off then get it back.

Either way I hope they get more than whats coming their way.

[Team_Mclaren]

I dont know what's more stupid, the idiots that stole the car, or the idiot that "let" them steal the car...

[sasukekun]

.

[analbumcover]

you're right man, every single police officer should go on a wild goose chase in a city of a million for a black bmw 550i...:rolleyes:

not to be rude but there are bigger fish to fry..

[rmk]

To CPS, it is just another stolen car. Weather it is $1,000 or $100,000 and that is the way it should be. They will not dispatch the chopper, and mass ground units to find this car. Good luck with the situation.

also, if what you say about BMW's actions here, that is pathetic of them.

[Team_Mclaren]

you should just post up their names. Beyond CSI > CPS

[TYMSMNY]

Like others have mentioned, I'm sure someone was smart enough in the family to use the tracking system on board.

You know that GPS is faster than Beyond... ;)

[Rat Fink]

.

[hingkit]

100% agree ... Kids these days need to learn to respsect ...
Our justice system is nothing more than useless ...
The "houseparty when parents are gone" was the first mistake .... but expensive lesson learned (hopefully).

And for new vehicles ... for an extra $10 a month ... zero depreciation waiver insurance is well worth it ... especially for a vehicle like this.

aww shit. sorry to hear about that. When I had my WRX, I bought it new and had it insured for "replacement cost" just because I was worried about this kind of shit with it.

Personally, I'd say each one of their fingers is worth 2,500 bucks. Kneecaps are another 1,500. Make them pay back the value of the car that way.

Fuckin' court system here won't teach them. They really should be strapped into a chair, have their friggin hands cut off, and then laid on the table in front of them beside a sewing kit......giving them the option to sew their hands back on if they choose to do so. You think their little cool guy friends would want to steal anything after that!??

Newer generations are getting more and more disrespectful to anything that isn't theirs. Even then, all these punk kids seem to live the life of "easy come easy go". Man, reading about this shit really gets me steamed up.

[Biga Ramrod]

In a way I hope you get the car back, but on the other hand I dont know if I would want my car after some little a-hole drove the crap out of it. Best case scenario the insurance company writes it off for the retail value and you can just go buy a new one. Either way I feel for you, I hate when people willingly damage others property. Anyways gl with your search, i'll keep an eye peeled.

I have no intention of exacting any vigilante justice. From this point on we're just letting the police deal with it. They know exactly who was at the party, and how find them. With some "real police" work it should be easy enough to interrogate a few high school kids. I hope something develops, but it seems like the police have better donuts to fry.

they sure do. it is only a car.

[mikestang]

I never leave my car keys laying around.. they're always with me, I'd rather spend $100 to replace a key I lost in Mexico than to lose a vehicle :D

[rc2002]

I don't know about anyone else, but if it were my car I would rather the car NOT get recovered. That way I could get paid out and get a new car.

I wouldn't want to drive a car that has been stolen and bagged on. The resale will have just plummeted. The extra mileage and possible mechanical and body damage (as a result from joy-riding) won't help with the value of the car either.

Maybe BMW is actually doing a service by being so slow.

[sasukekun]

[euro_racer]

ummm why offer a $2500 reward when the car has the tracking system and it is only a matter of time, besides even if something happens to the car I am sure you have insurance to take care of it... :confused:

That's just a hassle that nobody wants.

[Impreza]

Hell, even $1000 reward will prolly be enough. High school kids will go ape shit trying to fight eachother to be the first to rat eachother out for $2500.

:werd: You know how many slurpees you can buy with $2500?

I'll be on the look-out. Nothing pisses me off more than cars being broken into or stolen. :thumbsdow

[Machi]

So your brother didn't know any of the people he invited to the party? :nut:

[alloroc]

What was on the stolen computer?

Personal files? tax info? Credit card info?

I would be more worried about that than the car.

[sasukekun]

[DGill]

damm good luck finding it man

[7thgenvic]

what i don't understand is that the car has a tracking system on it and can't track it. I have used the Tracking function on our new X5 many of times and the SOS system. And they find the car RIGHT away. We have called as well. I think its interesting that you don't actually just do the same.

[rmk]

^ i agree. the story sounds shady :rolleyes:

[Dj_Stylz]

I hope you find it soon. Ill be on the look out

that's because your mom is hawwwtttt.....:love: :love:

I joke, just trying to lighten the mood on this thread....

[hingkit]

Tracking works if the vehicle calls out for help ...
But in order for BMW to "contact" the vehicle ...
Proper paperwork must be done since it "invades privacy" ...
and when people are involved it takes time.

[Dj_Stylz]

Proper paper work shouldn't have to be done since the car was stolen..

[JordanAndrew]

$2500 CASH REWARD!?? :eek:

I'm gonna go look for this car all day today now. Don't worry, your car is bound to be found now.

The party is probably true.

The dad will likely beat the shit out of the kids. The laptop is probably the dads from work with sensitive info on it and naked pics of the mom.

[b]The tracking isnt activated because the registered owner needs to do it. Dad is on vacation and BMW wont do it for the kids.

Otherwise, the car would be found.





Good call.... kids are probably trying to fix this problem before they get home.

That's some good work, Lou.

But in reality, details of a police investigation are best left undisclosed.

As has been stated many times before in the thread, BMW Assist has been contacted. They were contacted long before this thread was even created. If they were able to track the vehicle clearly we wouldn't be here right now, would we?


EXACTLY, enough about the tracking system already you numb nuts, you can't just call BMW and ask them where the fuck is my car!

[Dj_Stylz]

Is it really that hard to find a car that has a system in it to track it and its every move?

No, which is why this story reeks of shadiness.

LOL i love on the link posted above:

http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Cont...zgryGAh2k5KxQ==

there is a sample call. seems like they found the car in 45 minutes.

Someone doesn't want daddy to find out.

[5hift]

Who cares if a bunch of kids are trying to get the car back before their parents come home? Even if thats true, there is no way it wont get back to the parents especially if the police are already involved. And if the police aren't involved, that car is going to be so trashed anyways, it will be obvious something happened.

I'd say blame the dad. I'm sorry but if you have several teenage sons in the house, and you have a brand new $100 K + BMW in the garage, leaving the key at home is just asking for something to happen.

Yea no shit..if i had a 100k + BMW like this i would have that damn key sergically installed onto my hand as a 6th finger haha

whoa 4 kids with hats "backward", in a 08 550 wow that nuts, ROOOOOOLLLLIINNN....


naw seriously though thats fuked up, hope the car is found.....BY ME so i can get the MONAAAAYYY!

[Bimmer88]

Lets find these mofos...

When i first saw this thread I thought it was a joke... seriously you can't steal a Bimmer but read the first few posts and saw that they got it cause of the key....

ha... that's shitty. TRACK THAT SHIT and get those kids! and beat the shit outta them.

Stupid kids... if they were smart they should build a signal emitter to block BMW Assist from working and then find a way to disable it haha.

[DGill]

shady or not this guy has his car stolen, ill keep looking around for a similar car with young guys, if we find the people do we get more money if we beat em up?
