I read this in a recent edition of AutoExpress and the article highlighted many of the victims being BMW owners, although the problem is not exclusive to BMW.
No idea if the F30 is vulnerable in the same way. Thatcham are reportedly working on the problem while BMW declined to comment it seems. My question would be - if the current F30 is vulnerable, would BMW offer any sort of fix that could be retro-fitted? Being somewhat cynical I suspect the answer to that would be 'No' because the cost of doing that would probably be higher than settling the one or two court cases where someone is successful in demonstrating that a design flaw led to the loss of the vehicle.
Maybe it's time to dig out the old 'CrookLock'... although I understand even these can be defeated in a short time.
