This is restricted to 1.5km/2km (I forget) and also doesn't work if the ignition is on and that's my point (above). BMW will not remove these restrictions even if your car is stolen, and yet the car has to broadcast its location in order for the app to know that it's more than 1.5m away, and at that point, BMW know where your car is - they just won't tell you.

You can't use BMW assist GPS unless you are in the car and press the SOS button but that obviously defeats the object of finding your car
