I emailed them a while ago and got this reply:

"The Small size should be fine, even with the paddle gears"

Did you buy one then?

No!!

I had my e90 335d stolen (smashed the front door in and took the keys), but used to leave the car on the drive some days

I don't do that at the moment, so haven't bothered to take extra security

If I have to leave it on the drive again, I would seriously consider getting one.

They also suggested buying their steering wheel cover to prevent the Disklock marking the leather

I believe that the small one will fit. Should you go ahead with your purchase also purchase the storage bag/sleeve for it. It makes it easier to carry from use to wherever you stow it in your car whist driving.

I'll check for you later today, have one from my previous Subaru ownership but not tried it yet on the BMW as it's mainly garaged at night.

I have one tucked away in the garage, will try it tomorrow and let you know.

robwils · 11-22-2015, 01:44 PM

Small one definitely fits fine, tried mine earlier.
(Mine has paddles too)

Is that huge thing necessary, wouldn't one of these do?

The disklok is thatcham approved and gets the best reviews. Looks like you can buy a tool that opens Stoplocks and others with that type of lock

Dex.I'll have it if it's still for sale.Sending you a pm

Rbrown · 11-23-2015, 12:10 AM

I have been looking at steering wheel locks, so this thread comes at a good time!

I had noticed the disclok on amazon. It seems a lot more expensive. Is it really that much better?

Thanks

Interesting to see people resorting to these again - a neighbour of ours has one on a latest X5 which is street parked. I last had one back in 1993 for my Fiat Uno when I went to university.

Just curious how the Disklock would help in this scenario?

If they have broken the door in to get the keys, surely the key for the disklock is on the car key bunch?
And if you plan to keep them separate, may as well hide the car key?

But then that means they are going to wake you up for it....

Best bet probably is what you are doing, dont park the car where they know which house it belongs to.

I thought this but obviously it would need to be kept separate, which would be a bi of a PITA to remember.

Could try one of these?

Since loosing my 335d, I never leave the car keys in the house when I'm not there. The spare set are at a family address, and I always take the main key with me.
OK, if they'd attacked at night .......

Therefore, the Dislok would have help prevent it being stolen by the OBD port/clone key method.
