I think it's a bit of scaremongering.
to access the OBD port you would have to at least force the door/smash the window, both of which would result in the alarm being triggered/attention being drawn. They'd be as well towing it away.
anyway, regardless of how they steal it (unless you leave it unlocked with the key in it) your insurance will cover it. end of.
stop worrying and enjoy your lovely BMW

I totally agree. If someone wants to steal your car, they are going to steal it, end of story. If there is a will, there is a way. I know that I am not going to spend any time worrying about it. I have car insurance for a reason and as much as I love my cars, they are replaceable and are not worth me spending any of my time wondering and worrying if they may be stolen.
