That's 8 long weeks to wait, compared to the 3 minutes it takes for thieves to get away with the car...

"For obvious security reasons we cannot say what these measures are."

Rubbish. Anyone know that the measures are?

Blank keys now cost £50,000 each, so you might as well just buy a BMW to start with.

Or buy the $50k key and steal BMWs to break even.

edit: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/466366659/New_BMW_blank_ke... is this key different than what the article mentioned? Even if you but the minimum order, it will only cost, $6k, sell the rest for a mark up.

Or maybe everyone should only buy the key, that would there would be no demand for the cars, and they wouldn't get stolen. Then people could just use any car that they happened to walk past.
