Sounds more like gone in 6 seconds rather than Sixty.

Sounds like a good episode for Detroit 187.

Some red faces at BMW Logistics I bet.  Who left the keys in the car?

What a crock!

Thankfully, this 7 Series is equipped with BMW Assist, which locates a vehicle if it’s stolen, so it’s only a matter of time before cops close in on the BMW bandits.

If it actually worked they would have caught the crooks well before this had time to get published. You'd think that $140k would at least buy you a GPS locator that worked.

Update, it's been found, but not with their fancy-pants "BMW Assist" service:

Now that it's been found it seems to have lost $45k in value according to this report.

That $45K is how much BMW charges to fix those two cut wires.
