Would-be carjacker fires gun at man ... but can’t start BMW
Here's to DCT or possibly manual transmission saving the day. My guess is the car had a DCT which confused the robbers.

Few months ago at the BMW dealership they could no longer give me a Saturday appointment as the only BMW Genius (?) who could drive a stick at their shop no longer worked the Saturday shift.
Today, the front desk girl is called in to drive my car to the lift. She grew up in a Nascar family.

I had to be given instructions when I first got in one,not ever owning any BMW, it's not like a normal auto so a thief in a hurry would have a problem don't you think and what if it had a steering lock also,that's what you do when you leave it in a dodgy area.

This is a good enough reason to fit a 'ghost'
immobiliser. You can give up your key without a fight then do a Michael Johnson. Car will still be where you parked it when the cops arrive. |
