Active theft recovery system 2020 M550xi ?
Hello,
Can anyone tell me if a 2020 M550xi has an active theft recovery system, such as LOJACK, GPS tracking, etc ? My car is getting delivered tomorrow and I just added it to my USAA insurance. Will cost me just under $800 per year, but if the car has this system can go lower. Thank you, Mark |

Thank you for the reply. I called my local BMW Dealership, Tulley BMW, here in Nashua. They informed that all M Series have anti theft tracking installed.

If you install the MyBMW app on your phone there is a vehicle finder within the app. Unless a thief knows how to disable that thing it's an easy way to track your car- stolen or simply when used by another family member. Caution cheating spouses...

The locate my BMW in the app only works over short distances to help find the car when parked etc it won't work in the case the car is miles away unless something changed recently?

Stolen Vehicle Recovery support is standard on all BMW cars sold in the US. It uses the car's built in GPS and can be activated via a call to BMW ConnectedDrive. I got a stolen vehicle support certificate when I purchased my car to send to insurance for discounts...

Why can't we have this in Europe. Nanny says FFS. Probably a euro GDPR thing.

I mine has it's position updated every time it starts or stops somewhere, *however* it is something enabled in the iDrive, so not difficult to disable if the car is stolen :-/

Maybe it’s country specific, in a similar way to Google Earth not being allowed to map the roads in Germany? |
