Mine daughters got stolen. I only wish I knew who did it.

Run them down and grease the undercarriage.

A grease job like the Navy grease monkeys do to the twidgets.

Mine has a panic button to set off an alarm, but no kill switch. I keep my key fob in my pocket. Without it, the car will keep running until shut off and then won't start again without the fob - naturally. There is a visible warning. The typical car thief would know these things about BMWs though and probably ask for the fob. Generally, thieves don't try to steal BMWs because of the security features, but some teen carjacker? I don't know.

are you going to have time and opportunity to get out that thing when someone shoves a Glock in your face?

Nope.
Go with the cross draw and choot 'im in the face.

There's always the ability to track GM's via OnStar app, if the vehicle is properly equipped. Easy way to keep track of the missus….

Shoot through the case, they're only $20 at sporting goods stores

Oookay - still - going to have the time and room to get the case and bring it to bear?

You would be much better off with a handgun, especially if it is in a crossdraw holster

Hey, I sport a minivan, lots of space in the drivers area, stored between the seat and console. But there's always a sidearm on me as well.

That's an advantage.
The carjacker won't expect to get face shot by a guy in a minivan.
But then the question begs, is he going to want to jack a minivan ?

Greyman. What can I say…

Thinking a couple of Dillon Aero guns behind the sliding doors, and the back loaded up with ammo packs
