Steering wheel lock

In the last month 2 e90s have been stolen within 20 minutes from where I live so I am starting to get a little worried about mine. Both victims say keys were not stolen, alarm did not go off so it sounds like key cloning from the OBD port. I live in an appartment block with no secure parking.

I have disabled the port for now but I want to get a steering wheel lock also. I bought a decent one locally but it would not fit the steering wheel then I bought a cheaper one which fits but when I came out this morning there were two indents where it was pressing against the wheel which stayed for most of the day but are nearly gone now.

Can you recommend a decent lock which will fit and not mark my wheel?

My car is a 335d with M-Sport wheel that has paddle shift.

Easy question this, Disklok

A lot of members use this and I do too, gets excellent reviews and looks the part too, with it on, doubt anyone is even going to attempt

A small sized disclock will fit perfectly and will be able to rotate as they should.It won't mark either.Ive been using one on an Msport steering wheel and on other cars,for years and haven't had any problems at all.
