Inaccurate reporting in "Gone in 60 seconds"
The article conflates a bunch of facts and errors so it is hard to assess how real the danger is.

For starters, BMW doesn't make an S5 - Beckham had two X5s stolen from him. That would normally be a minor detail except for the fact that the X5 doesn't come with Comfort Access (n.b. BMW's new 3er, 5er, 6er, and 7er all have the Comfort Access keyless system) - even though the story positions the Beckham thefts as if they were due to Comfort Access.

I saw a similar article on leftlanenews.com days ago - also citing the X5 thefts as if they were due to Comfort Access - so it sounds as if this is just going to make the rounds despite faulty reporting by all parties.
