New car anti theft and paint protection
I am a few weeks away from receiving a new BMW 330e on 4 year PCP. my previous car was a skida superb and I hadn't really worked to much about it.
Looking for advise on two fronts:
Anti theft
The car will be parked on the street in london.
I've got a chipolo one tag I am going to remove the speaker from, and was considering a motorbike tracker like tracking or monimoto. A bit neighbors about wearing money on a wired tracker that could easily be found.
also thinking of getting a disclok.
I know ghost immobilizer or kill switch is often recommended but I don't want to invalidate the warranty.
Paint protection
Contemplating ceramic coating and or partial PPF but that seems like a lot of money.
Am I overthinking this? any thoughts on any of the above?
