Non of that new fangled stuff on a Z3
The bloke that had his Merc nicked obviously had not read the manual !
"Similarly, Harry Goaman, 25, from Clapham South, came home last month to find his £21,000 second- hand Mercedes C-Class Coupé had been taken by thieves using the relay trick, even though the car keys were in a cupboard drawer 10ft inside his home."
"In addition, all Mercedes-Benz Keyless Go signals can be switched off by pressing the locking button on the key twice, which de-activates the signal: they can be reactivated by pressing any button on the key."

Had problem on the Z4 e85 roadster a few months ago, something was draining batt over a 3week period. Fitted a batt isolation switch so apart from breaking into the boot they'll need to lift it and transport it, either that or just knock and ask for the key. (Agreed value makes a lot of sense these days)
