    Top 10 stolen prestige cars in the UK

    Doesn't make for good reading for us BMW owners, 7 cars out of the top 10 are BMW and they all seem to be from the blank key security flaw era.

    RE: Top 10 stolen prestige cars in the UK

    Very surprised that the X6 is the most stolen car to order in the UK – obviously for parts or export. The rest of the list wouldn’t shock me.

    The OBD security flaw is rampant in the UK, haven’t heard of as many cases since BMW rolled out the OBD port update so it’s hard to tell if that has solved the problem. I’ve had my OBD update done under warranty and use a disklock as a result.

    "Least nice looking" is a very generous way of putting it

    The X6 has always struck me as being pretty handsome in the metal, imposing. Totally pointless but imposing.

    Not that SUVs are my thing, but I quite like the "square" look of the X6. As Moe says though, they're unbelievably pointless

    My friend has one and a 640d as his 2 cars. He has 3 kids and a wife, so they can't all fit into either of them! (He has a 1998 Toyota picnic that he uses if the whole family are going somewhere!)
