warning! this is getting serious.
after being a victim of this heinous crime I thought I should share this with those of you not aware of what is a growing crime (not just in the UK) after being without a car for 3 months and the £6k cost of repair its time something was done! as a consumer there's not a lot we can do really, ive now got a disklok which i've now been told is a useful as a chocolate tea pot coz that just goes with the steering wheel £200 wasted I removed the steering adjuster lever coz this just helps the scumbags out by allowing the steering column to act like a slide hammer ! I'm sure there are other ways to protect my steering wheel but as yet this is the best I can think of, ultimately this is a problem BMW should be looking at! so Mr Oliver Zipse get your team to sort this out or I'll go and but an Audi

From the video, I'm assuming they just physically break or cut the column at the tilt and telescope mechanism and then just yank out the whole upper section of the collapsible tube, together with the stalks and anything attached to the wheel itself. |

I didn't look closely - does the video reveal the data on the number plates?

over here in the UK there are many owners retrofitting these things ie the steering wheel lci rear led's extended dash etc so these people acquire them then sell em on eBay Facebook and the like just look on eBay for an M wheel with all the stuff on it! £500-£800 its a lucrative business.
