moktar 7 Report post Posted May 18, 2010 Hey Guys, Unfortunatly had some scum try and steal my car last night from my driveway right beside my bedroom window. They managed to smash the drivers side lock. Once inside they dismantled the underside of dash and had a play with the wiring. (no Alarm) Looks like they have ripped out part of the wiring and some of the wiring plug boxes. I have insurance but a $1000 excess. my question is what kinda price would i be looking at for a rewire under there? (can post pics once home) Car wont start and have to tow to get any quotes. Whos my best bet to go see? Why couldnt they get it to start though? does the E36 have a immobliser of some sort? Any help would be much appreicated. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted May 18, 2010 Yeah sorry Ray - wasn't meaning you wouldn't have the bits / right bits / expertise. Was just looking to answer the original question about whether he has an imobiliser. I ended up getting an alarm anyway after someone tried to break into my car and ruined the locks. I wasn't worried about them actually stealing the car, but figured I needed the deterrent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
