    Help! Someone tried to steal my car and now immobilised!

    Hi all,

    First post on here, although I used to be a member of the Z4um many years ago, and am also on the Club Triumph forum.

    Last night my car was broken into (E90 saloon, 318D M Sport). They broke the driver's side window (front). Nothing stolen, but the cover had been removed from the diagnostics port.

    Although the alarm still goes off when entering the car, and the lights flash, all other electronic systems have been completely disabled. No central locking, no ignition, nothing!

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Is there a key symbol on the dash by chance?

    Also have you tried to lock/unlock the car using the spare key in the FOB?
