There's been some discussion around that in another thread - around here somewhere just can't find it right now.

The vulnerability seems to stem from being able to code a blank key from the OBD port with the vehicle's ignition switched off. Also being able to break the drivers window and plug in to the OBD port without triggering the vehicle's alarm.

BMW have not commented, so don't know if, for example, the new F30 requires the ignition to be on in order for the key programming function to work.
