Tracking can be good... but if the thief has anyclue they can disable it in a few simple minutes...

I just bought my line the other week... Had a good quality alarm and 3pt immobiliser installed...

Just be carefull where you park and always hope for the best.

Congrats on the purchase :)

All these different alarm tracking systems have their advantages and disadvantages. You have to look at how you use your car and then pick the one that suits.

With 3rd party I know for sure that Suncorp will pay up to 5k to get your car fixed if it was not your fault.

I know an installer that has an alarm that you use with a sim card. You program your number into it and it calls you when anything is wrong. Of course it has limitations since it's working off the GSM network. However at $550 or so fully installed it's not a bad option if you are on a budget.

The only bad thing is you have to have an existing alarm if you want the normal funtions like opening the doors for you or locking and winding up your window.

If anyone wants to install this PM me and i will give you the number if this installer. He works in the Sydney area.

Some interesting issues raised here....

If my car was to be stolen and then recovered, but with say $3000 of damage, would my 3rd party fire and theft policy pay for that damage given the policy states that it covers theft up to $4000? Or is that just if the vehicle isn't recovered?

Thanks

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.

      Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.

      Great write ups / details / photos. I'm sort of on the road to E90 ownership (325i or 330i), haven't hit the fork in the road yet "Yes" | "No", and some of the issues you've faced have me nervous for the age these are getting to nowadays (that wiring, jesus), but I'm guessing the pro's of ownership are still outweighing the con's? Of course, if the bloody tattslotto ROI actually went my way...E90 M3. And I'd have the cash to do all the extra lovely maintenance THOSE require. 😄
