Well just got back from Fi's cousins wedding which I had a great time at to find that my car has been broken into, passenger side window smashed all my gauges gone and my SAFC II. I am going down to have a proper look and clean it up but I am f**king pissed off. This is about the 5 or 6th break in about 4 weeks in this complex I had nothing visible in the car other than obviously the gauges and safc... they didn’t take the stereo or anything else, probably good I had the head deck out... anyways if anyone see's or hears of anything please ring pm me

It's a blue screen SAFC II with an Apexi stand.

The guages are all autometer carbon fibre ones

Yup reported it to the police straight away they were not much help at all. They took the details down but basically said it happens and that they were not going to send anyone out to look at it. I can sort of understand this as it would happen fairly often but still it doesnt help my case... So all they are helpful for in this case is when my insurance agency talks with the police. Still working out if its worth making a claim i will have to work out how much my premium will go up + the excess is not small :)... maybe i just repair the window, sell the car and get a shit box till i buy a house and have a proper garage...

hmmmm i wonder if the police say this to every car theift victim, or do they go indepth with the first ones and eventually get to the latter ones?

yea it's a security car park (swipe cardD) but there are about 90 - 100 car parks due to them combining the two adjacent appartments + people have multiple spares which they could just give to anyone if they wanted and no body would know :)

It's annoying but i guess shit happens can't win em all :D

man, when this shit happens when youve gotta alarm installed makes me sketchy about mine,, . I'm getting an alarm installed tomorrow. but if theifs these days dont care about them ,, they kinda seem pointless to have after hearing a story like this..

they need to make alarms which phsically harm those who enter your car..

leigh i was shocked when i read inside here that ppl broke into your car, karma comes around mate. bad thing about something like this, is that it's obviously somebody who lives in the complex, or a friend of that somebody.

Yeah it would be somebody who has seen the car before , i keep a ear out for any cheap parts. This shit is F**ked why cant people just keep there hands off other peoples skylines

Bad luck there, shit happens and unfortunately the local police don't seem to want to do anything about petty crimes anymore. I've heard too many stories like this lately, and it seems that it's only going to get worse if the police and Government get their shit together and do something about it. We're going to end up like Sydney the way we are going.

damn i missed your post sin :)

cheers for the words guys yes it is very annoying but i wont bag my alarm as it clearly worked as they must of got in and out bloody quick. The alarm was still in one piece though from what i can see.

After thinking about it more and looking at how it was done i dont think they were trying to steal the car in the first place... they were just after some parts which they will probably be able to flog off quickly and easily. The only good thing i can say about whoever did it is that they were clean about it (other than the window) all the wiring has just been cut right up near the top of the stolen items so they didnt rip it out or anything which is good as they didnt really damage anything else in the process.

Anyways i am ringing around for quotes this morning to find out if it's worth putting a claim in stupid high excess :thumbsup: anyone have any mates in the glass industry lol

cops dont do shit for car break ins.

gfs car got broken into, they took name, rego, parts stolen and chased her up about the damn TITLES of the CDs stolen for a week. WTF? go catch criminals not ring constantly asking exactly what cds were taken!

another mates S13 got nicked (the whole car) and he found it luckily a few streets away but they wouldnt come out for that until he footstamped and threatened until the did.

cops are useless unless your dead. then they seem to take notice.

I agree with low200 the cops are hopeless or just dont care , I had 2 cars stolen and both times they said I done it and it was a crime to make to report a car stolen when it wasn`t. The second time was in Queanbeyan , the cop after making me wait for 4hrs said he wouldn`t do a stolen car report as he didn`t think the car was stolen , I went off my head and told him to do his job and it was MY car and i wanted a stolen car report done , he than was going to arrest me but could tell me what for he was just gunna, then after all that the cop told me that if i didn`t mind not to put a report as it made the Queanbeyan police station yearly report look better if it didn`t have as many stolen cars.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
