If "the door is locked" so to speak bad people will usually move onto something easier.....
Meh, whatever. I still say you are more likely to be assaulted by a random stranger than have your random BMW hacked. BMW will likely tighten things up in the next generation. Or not, I don't really care, more important things in life to worry about.

I agree about the odds. I mean, I'm always "concerned" to some degree.. But I'm just a chump who works for someone and spends a lot of money and enjoys life (spend half, save half). If there is any effort to breach national public security, I would better hope they spent their time on people who can make them rich, lol
