I leant my 135i M Coupe to a mate in Weybridge / Surrey for a few days, he awoke to find a brown paper lining over the window (smashed) and peeled back and the OBD port had the cover off. Luckily I had the OBD security update to remove the function or my car would have gone.

diagnostic port fitted to cars so error codes can be read. You plug in a scanner to help determine what the fault is with a car
