Stolen 1M
Hello forum,
A friend's 1M was stolen yesterday night, in Athens, in Petroupolis area. The car was wrapped in Vivid Blue, has BBS 19'' wheels, Bildstein B16, Akrapovic exhaust system, Boca diffuser, Boca frontspoiler, PP spoiler, PP steering wheel with display, Power Dome hood carbon, Cobb chargepipe and BMS downpipes. The car has Swiss number plates. If you see something on ebay or in another forum, please send a message here. Share the info if you want. Thank you in advance. |

That's a shame. Will keep an eye out online.

this is so shit....my guess is they have probably removed the blue wrap....so keeping an eye out for a BSM one is likely the situation....unless they are too stupid to realise it's a wrap.
Hope it gets found! :/ |

Anyone who stole this undoubtedly knows exactly what it is. The car is worth way more in one piece than it would be worth parting it out. It may have even been stolen "to order."
If I had to guess, I'd say it went immediately into some kind of container, and may already be loaded onto a ship; Athens is on the coast, and is a major shipping port, after all. The authorities at ports are generally much more interested in stuff coming into the country than going out of it. Russia and China, plus any of a number of dictatorships would be the likely destinations, anywhere that the car would not be looked for or found. Barring the extremely unlikely possibility that this was stolen by an amateur, my guess is that the car is gone for good, unfortunately. |

That's such a bummer. I'd never take my eyes off it. That blue is gorgeous, and it's just asking to get picked up. Even tempting thieves. Was it parked in a garage? Was it broken into (alarm go off)? Or was it one of those deals where they can start it via the OBD port (with the hand held gadget). I don't think it was stolen on a whim, I think some planning went into stealing this one.
Such a shame, what a beautiful 1M |

Totally sucks especially after such elaborate (and nice) mods.
Not to pry, but at this point you(r friend) may consider posting the VIN in this thread or registry to facilitate finding it and preventing it from ever being sold complete to an 1addict. |

Terrible, that car is amazing. Is the Boca splitter the same as Slek? Any know where to get in US. There is one on ebay but not sure I trust it.

And about importing and exporting..you're right and i agree 100% with you. The authorities at ports are generally much more interested in stuff coming into the country than going out of it. True that. Quote:
