They cite legal reasons for this but I suspect they'd sooner not tread on the toes of the companies that sell trackers and would also have no issue with you buying a new one after an insurance claim. Refer to the recent media reports on just how it easy it was steal the last generation of BMWs

This must depend on where you live. In the USA, BMW clearly list stolen vehicle recovery as one of the services provided with BMW assist. But you need to file a police report before you call them.
It's even listed in the FAQ section on BMW USA's site.
