Here is another recent video of this happening in the Uk it’s so quick it’s unbelievable. This only happened a couple of days ago
czcams.com/video/meS6r2yJNXs/video.html
@BMWDoctor happened to me the other night, pish take!!! Is there anyway on keeping it safe without removing? Don't have a garage so have to park on the road
I totally agree with you about the part of cutting their hands if they steal. 😂
Sharia law doesn't look so bad now does it
100%
This is a BMW issue. The government should hold them accountable. Force a recall to fix it from being stolen so easily.
It can’t be recalled it’s not a bmw problem as far as I’m aware if it was I’m sure bmw would have rectified it
How is it possible for it to be so easily ripped out of the car? Obviously it’s a design flaw. People spend so much money on these cars they deserve quality. This is a lack of quality on BMWs part. In my own opinion. I own an older BMW E53 X5. I don’t think I can rip out the steering column on it like the way I’m seeing on these videos. It’s such a shame on BMW.
🤦🏾
@@76Bourne thrash can steel anything ,if they want it they'll take it... They have the tool's to take it.. do you live in a bubble?
@@76Bourne oh yes you can rip it out bring it to me I’ll show you 😁
If you want it bad enough like they do adrenaline kicks in your whole weight and force will rip it out believe me. Go and try it let me know what happens
100% agree with the hand cutting part
Try that in Texas Florida Nevada Arizona a number of other US spots you're likely to get met with a 9mm slug coming at you at quite a rapid velocity. Not saying that's good, or bad. It just is.
Knowing bmw the column bolt was prob made of plastic 😭😂
I got some advice, hang a beware dog tag on the window and use a plush animal to make it look like a dog is sleeping on the backseat or lay down the rear seats with a blanked and plushy on it. use a dangerous dog tag, this scares thieves for sure!
wow man u dserve a podcast. syke!
Lots of cars have been stolen in Southampton. My brothers brand new C class was stolen from his drive. We both have wheel locks now but this is scary to see how quickly they can steal your shit
Even scarier that they just take it from your drive way, get camera's, or hang a here sleeps for example a pitbull in the car, put a airtag in there or hang camera's in the car itself like dash cams. Or easier rent a garage.
As to why it doesn't take the Hulk to yank out the steering wheel, that's probably a safety precaution in case of a frontal crash (in order to prevent the steering wheel from crushing the driver's ribs or worse). I'm not sure if removing it on a daily basis is a good idea, I've done this for a retrofit (new parts from an official BMW dealer) and while I guess it could be done in 5 minutes (mind the airbag!), I can also see how this would get tedious very quickly. In my opinion, the blame lies with platforms like eBay, they should only allow genuine dealers to sell used car parts.
All BMWs are fitted like that. Just seems as cars got more expensive so did the parts inside so now they have become a huge target. Years ago this wasn’t the case but the more technology you fit in a car the more it becomes a prime target I expect soon Teslas will be next for the screen once they find out how to virginise the system.
Why would the steering wheel being easy to pull off the column TOWARD the driver have anything to do with safety when number 1 the car has seatbelt pre tensioners, number 2 it has multi-stage airbags and number three a collapsible steering column would move DOWN into the dash not upwards toward the driver...? There is absolutely no reason why it should need to come off like that. This is a major design flaw that opportunist thieves are exploiting. BMW needs to step up here and come up with a fix and a free recall for owners.
Had my wheel stolen from f10 msport. Car was in for 4 weeks with repair shop as they couldn’t get wheels out quick enough. But then I think insurance and repair shop strung it out for max value. Final bill was 7k
@@amitlaxhman1176 and we all pay the price
Totally agree with everything you said mate its a shame bmw haven't corrected the issue
That’s why non of the bimmer owner using indicator,now I know
It's true very sad and shouldn't be robbing other poor people and I heard in Saudi Arabia people get hands cut that's why people won't try stealing in the UK people don't have fear of doing things especially steal which should change. I hate to say it because I had my cat stolen on my type r but tough times like the government has made everyone penny count by upping prices keeping people poor and using people's money to fend their own bad ways giving Ukraine missiles involving us in a war we don't want to be involved with. It's wrong it's just a vicious circle. I know people should go work but people don't want to work for pennies I guess when things cost so much. At the end it's to do with money I feel. If people could make thousands without crime without it being so hard you would have almost no crime but I feel the government secretly want crime because the police is their business and they know keep people desperate and people will commit crime to get money. Without crime police wouldn't exist and their would be no more money they make from that. I hate to say it but it's just a evil circle. But as people we should really stick together because we're much stronger together but people don't think like that. It's hard but it can happen like on the kings day people got together and they questioned free speech. It's because they want to scare people and it probably worried them people are trying to stand together
B A, Quite alot of truth about what you're saying,unfortunately truth is often dark and at the very least uncomfortable,yes it all boils down to money and the currency of control.The arms industry needs war for it's business making billions for the government. These bastards stealing steering wheels,BMW would have realised this would happen but could'nt give a damn,just means they'll make even more money out if it because they're in the business of making money.
You guys in the UK are utterly are defenseless against criminals, so of course street thugs are going to run the streets. I cannot believe the arrogance they behave with in London, Manchester, greater Merseyside last time I was over there. They know they are untouchable. Disgusting. They don't give two F's about who's life they may be putting into a tailspin with their thieving. And agree re: Ukraine. It's disgusting and a sham to put money into politician's cronies bomb, plane, rocket makers etc. and god only knows what other shady characters pockets while our own cities fall apart. US Defense Dept says it just 'lost'--LOST--$6 BILLION...totally unaccounted for. RIGHT. Cash stacked on pallets like in Iraq no doubt. Yet I can barely drive a few blocks in the major city I live in w/o shattering a rim or suspension on a huge pothole. Not to mention the total hell the Ukrainians are being put through in something that could have easily been stopped ages ago but NATO wants it to go on and on. This world is really messed up. Sad.
Think it’s time to get Bmw to solve this problem and get recalls in
What can we do to deter them? Do you think a steering lock would put them off? It's nuts how things are now.
Police recovered mates bmw via tracker they were using jammer but found it via vhf, they bmw had already been fully stripped down 3 hours after being stolen
Did BMW come up with a fix for this yet? It's definitely a serious design flaw!
No way should you be able to pull it out of the car by hand in just a few seconds. They need to issue a recall!
Still, design flaw or not, it makes me very sad to see how lawless and sketchy life in the UK is becoming for so many.
I wouldn't go as far as cutting off hands, but certainly citizens need the legal right to defend themselves and their property with force if necessary like they can in the US. But in too many cases if an owener did take matter into their own hand THEY would end up getting criminal charges and the theives would get a slap on the wrist. That's just how the British "justic system" works these says. I honestly could cry for the way things are going in this country.
Yeah nah fam…we have guns. You will 100% get shot here for trying to steal a steering wheel. 😂 I’m not a “take someone’s life over property guy”, and I’m well insured…but there are people here that literally can’t wait to live out their sick vigilante dreams…so much so that they’ll set up bait cars. Shit is wild here. If you come in my home with bad intentions though, different story…my kid rests his head here so the stakes are different, very little to no margin of error. In the words of uncle Chael “I can’t let you get close!” 😂🛸💨
Well if you try and come get my $4000 custom steering wheel from my X3MComp you’ve already entered into my home and shouldn’t expect to get out unscathed.
Damm that's some straight bullsh**t , exactly how were they able to just rip it out especially by hand , the only person that should be able to pull it out by hand is the hulk 🤦 good looking on this DOC , BIG RED FLAG
Just use a security wire from the bottom of your seat to the steering wheel and make it visible. We use this in the US to secure our gun boxes in our cars.
For all the problems cars have especially with the USB and kia's, I think manufacturers should be held financially responsible to the customer for faults like this.
Just putting something out there, could the electric seats be programmed to slide forward and the back tilted forward when the alarm is set. Not a mechanic😂
Hi BMW Doc, recently, I’ve encountered an issue with the screen, which shows ‘No signal’ in message in orange. Music was still on but nothing on the screen, even back up camera. I’ve done some research. Some say it could be the Bluetooth connection, some say it could be the issue with head unit (need to be replaced), some say it was the battery… have you ever heard of this issue? If yes, can you make a video for solution?
Remove the height adjuster lever, then they can't force the column
This is a really good video 👍🏾 Thank you for posting this. I agree these people need more of a deterrent!!!
Does this happen to 1 series 2012 2014 plate?
German build quality at its finest 🤣😂😆😁😄🤣🙃🤪
germans also has manners, thats the reason why nobody predicted this, blame migration and Js like always.
Minute 10.12 about the steering wheel nut. Probably, and I'm not sure because I didn't see it, it is made of steel and the column is made of aluminum. If so, with force, the aluminum grooves are swept as if it were butter. Sorry for my English but it is not my first language.
Been stolen too... There's any way to track the steering wheel and the GPS? They stole steering wheel and GPS
Didn’t know that was a thing but good on you Doc for not sharing these tires of exploits and making it known to those that own these that this is a thing
Hi Dean, are you still updating software remotely? I've got E90 that could benefit from it.
You can contact me on Instagram about that
@@BMWDoctor jsut did
BMW Doctor - Why is causing my engine fail safe to come on? If I restarts it goes away for a few days then comes back. I checked my terminals and battery and they are both fine. Here are the codes I am getting PO172, PO175, and PO1500. Please help.
Hi , I’ve had this done to my bmw 320d . I’ve since replaced the unit but only displays as no signal .
Very interesting about the Steering Wheel. Watched it all and gave a like. Which brand of aftermarket Inlet Manifold do you suggest for N47 320D 2009 please?
i have a f12 640i with the ugly wheel for 3 years now no one has troubled it l want to change to an m6 if i fit the ugly wheel does anyone think it will be left alone. i had a s5 stolen by relay theft before this car
Hello guys, my car had its steering wheel stolen 2x. To prevent it I use a stop lock pro and position it behind the gear selector so it can not be yanked out. Also i chain up the steering wheel to the pedals.
You can use a beware here sleeps a dog tag on the window.
Wtf? Never heard of people stealing steering wheels they would rather steal the catalytic converters which is a huge problem here I’m in the US btw
So your advice is to remove your steering wheel 😂😂😂😂😂 get a grip
The best suggestion is to swap M sport steering with basic non-M sports one.
Llumar smash and grab window tint should help?
are the new 1 series affected
Its only possible on the manual adjustment ones. My vw camper has a removable wheel but I'm thinking I need one for the 430 now.
You can't do it easily. See, in front of the central bolt that holds the steering wheel you have the airbag.
3 weeks ago my steering wheel was stolen too, F32 420d in Porto, Portugal
Sadly I have easy access so they opened the car, carefully removed the steering wheel and even locked the car again on their way out
Now for some facts:
- Guy who took the car to the BMW repair shop said it was the 35th he was lifting (edit: without steering wheel that is)
- One of the cops said he owns a BMW and that he knows the pack M is very sought after and stolen a lot in Portugal
- at the BMW repair shop they said they receive AT LEAST one car per week without the steering wheel
So... they asked me 3200 euros for a new one at BMW and I ended up buying, at a car items shop with an invoice, an used one beaten to death which had to be refurbished.
Wallet damage:
750 euros for the wheel+100 euros to refurbish+0 euro to put it back myself in 1 minute
I now use a Disklok every time I leave the car
It doesn't solve the problem but helps
Well, not really nice to steal the wheel of course but nice of them to lock the car again, which is weird for a thief to do lol. I'd suggest to rent a garage, hang a here sleeps a dog tag so it scares thieves, they used to hang it at home on the windows to prevent thieves to break in, install a dashcam that records 24hrs straight or install a drive way camera.
This is good to be aware of but there’s no real prevention apart from ‘get a garage’ which isn’t possible for many people. Some have to park on the road and that’s where these scumbags get access to your car. I think the punishment for theft isn’t much, if we had the right to have guns to defend ourselves and our property then these thieving so and so’s wouldn’t dare steal stuff like this.
Who said you can’t have a gun ? You just have to be smart about it and know the right people and where to get one. where I live everyone owns them you think they all go and preach and beg for a license nobody can stand the police including me so hell no I will let them dictate to me what I can and can’t have. Don’t matter if you kill with a gun or your bare hands your gonna be charged regardless death is death regardless don’t matter what you used so who cares about if you legally can own one. It’s not legal to kill someone regardless but if their stealing your stuff or trying to force entry into your home which criminal is gonna be stupid enough to go to the police and say I was just robbing this guys house or car and he pulled a gun out on me? They have to snitch on themselves first which they won’t do. So in that case of course you can have a gun if your sensible with it just don’t draw attention. As I’ve said it’s always good to let someone think your stupid and dumb and let them try something then show them what time it is as this country thinks everyone can’t have a gun that’s why they feel safe doing this. But if they come to my house boy oh boy I have land big enough to bury them they won’t be found and I will build a foundation on top of their body and I also have very close trusty neighbours who wouldn’t snitch on me either as we all come together 😁 as there is only 4 of us where I live so all will stick together that’s why shit don’t happen to me as I’m ready oh boy I’m ready I wish it would happen to me.
@@BMWDoctor relax mate. I dont understand why people say you cant get guns in the uk. You can, when you apply for a license you just need a reason for it.
@@voxy8669 could link a video for this? I thought you can only have a gun in the uk if you’re a farmer
Make me so angry, enough with the weakness and borderline protecting these criminals, make it legal to install some gas protective system in a car, electrify then, anything I don't care if it hurt or even kill one of them, they made that choice themselves forcing entering my vehicle, my property.
So do not dare hinting at me hurting or off'ing these sick individuals.
i was that soldier. i had mine nicked from my M235i a couple of months ago 😡 no car for 3 months and it cost the insurance 6k to replace
Expensive cars are a total waste of money nowadays
It's those fools from morocco. And for the alarm just tape over the OBD port so they can't plug in their tool to disable the alarm system.
Is this a risk for stock e90 owners?
No none at all as everything inside the previous E series cars ain’t worth taking unless you put a m performance steering wheel on their from a F series then you will be at risk
nice car my guy because your are nice
Needs to be much more harsh penalties for theft.
That.
It is because it has a clapsing colom the wheel is coming off whith the center shaft
How about steering wheel locks are they any good 😢???
Nope they will take your steering wheel with the lock attached… if you put a lock on it they know you have something your protecting so even more reason for them to want it badly
It looks like there releasing the steering column clip for more movement to slide
Correct they are to slide it back and fourth to rip it out. This was BMWs biggest mistake making it manual adjustment I haven’t tried or know or this happening on any other cars before the F series but then nobody tried and they wouldn’t as the steering wheel and parts ain’t worth anything today.
Sorry that happened to you
Looking pretty fit there mate, thanks for the info!
It's because the steering rack to steering wheel is made to break in case of an accident!!
Precisely that so people abuse it knowing it’s there for that reason
Woke up to find my i drive system snd screen ripped out
good video1 dr dean is cool....
This happened to my 3 series gt 2017
Man I just got my 2006 325i a brand new refurbished msport steering wheel now I’m wondering if I should install it yet 😂
It’s E90 they don’t want nothing from them old cars. They ain’t worth anything this is purely for F series and G series only they are the only targets E series chassis nobody wants the parts for that they ain’t worth nothing.
@@BMWDoctor sheesh you can come about it another way instead saying it a rude way my guy saying cheap an lol the steering wheel is not cheap at all need to learn how to communicate in a more manner full way wish you the best on CZcams with that attitude ✌️
I wasn’t being rude at all. I’m saying your talking about a e90 steering wheel which is worth maximum £200 here so it is cheap compared to a M performance steering wheel which is £1000-£1500 all of them regardless I mean the cheaper leather one is £800 lowest you can find them. I get you want to feel part of this but no man this is only happening in the Uk and people don’t even look at E series cars over here everyone is into the new stuff only they only steal the new stuff which is valuable and can sell it quickly. No theif wants to hang on to stolen property for years or months they want rid straight away to get their money out of it.
There is no being rude be happy your car isn’t a target this only applies to F series and G series.
I was purely telling you what a criminal would tell you if you told them to steal your steering wheel they would laugh at you they don’t get out of bed for a E90 steering wheel. Sorry but I’m being straight up no BS here my g
Here you go my g now you see a criminal would not put thereself in prison for 5 years for something worth £100 ain’t even worth there time and there is loads more over in the Uk bmw parts are cheap not expensive like they are in the USA old BMWs and parts are cheap here only new stuff is expensive so this proves I wasn’t being rude I’m stating facts.

@BMW Doctor I have an E90 Msport and I'm thankful to know that my steering wheel is safe. I have no option other than to park my car on the road at the front of my house. I have cameras on the car out of fear that someone would do something like this to mine, but cameras wouldn't stop anyone stealing anything from the car as shown in the video but this puts me at ease a little knowing that my car isn't really a target 👌
They used to steal windscreens in 90s, mates golf was stolen, he noticed when he got in and saw wipers on his dashboard
Crazy thing is the thief may have watched one of your videos on how to remove the wheel.
exactly, now that he’s uploaded this, more people will get the same idea as these cunts
They all know already how to do certain stuff.
Good reason to use the yellow disklock system I guess ?
Not for someone like me as I know how to break them open 😌 no matter what lock you put on your car I can break open in seconds also ghost immobiliser I have just been taught in Spain to bypass them with a device if I want you car I’m taking it
@@BMWDoctor but can you run faster than buck shot ? :D
Don’t need too 😅 never had any problems in 13 years taking cars in a BMW expert no alarm means no awareness I have my ways trust me 😎 those who know me know what I’m about
Just grant or Julie. To get a Connie Joyce
surprised they where able to do that not sure they could on a e46
They wouldn’t bother with a E46 that car is too old and nothing inside the car is worth anything
hahahahaha 😂
Wrap constatine wire around your new steering wheel at night so they can cut off their fi gers when they try it again.
Make sure you sharpen the blades on the constantine wire before you install it. Post the fingers on a new video when this happens again. 😂
i got a new 535 2010 for $1500 bro green
this is not BMW issue, this issue is because of Js and migration.
Dont u didnt like a bmw anymore why kept it? Just drive a porch its more good to you . That car is more delivered than us
Nah I want them all why give it to people like you ? That’s why I don’t sell them I don’t need them but I also don’t need to sell them as I don’t need the money unfortauntely so they sit while I do drive my Porsches 😁 just dream you could afford a Porsche that’s why bmw is more suited to you as it’s all you can afford. It’s true what they say once you drive a Porsche you never go back! The saying rings true unfortunately
