MI FS: Must Sell Quickly! 2011 BMW 750Li fully loaded. I'll take $50k.

I'll even include Lojack and BMW Assist. Must buy right now!!!

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/13/r...t-during-auto/

As workers were preparing to load a BMW 7 Series onto a transport truck near Detroit's Westin Book Cadillac hotel, a pair of thieves jumped in and drove off with the German luxury sedan. The car is said to be worth $140,000, and as of this writing, local police have had no luck tracking down the stolen vehicle. Thankfully, this 7 Series is equipped with BMW Assist, which locates a vehicle if it's stolen, so it's only a matter of time before cops close in on the BMW bandits.
lol. Stay classy Detroit.

That's what I was thinking... it seems like an auto show is not the best place to steal a car.

A brand new police car was stolen at that location last year during the auto show.
fyi, that 7series is chopped up and the BMW assist is under the Belle Isle Bridge.

well, i'd say just the opposite is true. if you know what you're doing, it could easily be a real-life gone-in-60-seconds. during the loading and unloading days, there are thousands of cars all over the place, a lot of them are left running while people walk around and wait for truck drivers to unload more, etc. just picture hundreds of cars idling with no one knowing who is who and who is responsible for what. i worked in the industry...i'm surprised it doesn't happy more often.

they don't make an m7, so it was either someone sticking an m badge on a 7, or it could have been a B7...was it like an electric blue color? was it a 7-body or a coupe? b/c you said coupe...so maybe an m6?

i dont know that much about BMWs, except that pretty much most of them are just called by numbers, not names.. But it wasnt like a pos car that said M7 on it.. It was REALLY nice, and im pretty sure it had 2 doors.. and it said M7, NOT the Alpina B7. I've seen that too at my work, and i got pix of it, thats nice too

it was a crystal white one
