Update.
Not good news.
It appears wires were chewed by rodents or cut on both sides of my front. These rodents must be very precise with their cuts and avoid all the cats around my car park.
I’m so upset as this is going to cost me big.

Oh man. So sorry to read this.
Where are these cables, I can’t make out where abouts in the engine bay this is?
Do you reckon this is the work of some malicious cretin?

I meant that in order of the brand you may expect that the dealers are also at that level. But often it isn't.
Yes for you it's very very terrible. Hopefully it will be solved soon.

Oh that pretty f..ktup, is some part of the Netherlands we have them also. But with a ultrasound device they stay away.
Unfortunately for this comes to late.
Hope that the cost are not to high and maybe the dealer can help you to reduce the costs.

Guys, I was being a bit tongue in cheek accusing rodents.
It was a clean cut on both sides so obviously deliberate. Maybe someone was trying to cut my brake lines but doesn’t have a clue.
I’ll be collecting my dash cam from bmw and hopefully it will show up who the culprit is.
This is a low car and someone had to really struggle to get behind the wheels to cut these wires.
Long and long of it. £650 down the drain.

Yup. For real.
Someone went into my back car park and cut cables behind the front wheels of my car.
It is so messed up.

That’s what I was reading into it. I was looking at those pics thinking that’s pretty low down on the car and the clean cuts look pretty malicious.
This could get interesting if you can get an identity. I suspect you won’t - but a good lawyer would be gearing up for attempted murder.

Sorry to hear this, that's really shocking. Hope you can identify the culprit from the cam.

Ori, sorry to hear this. All a bit strange.
Could it be someone thinking they were cutting alarm cables, or immobiliser?
Any CCTV covering where it was parked?

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

That would be odd cutting what feels like the same cable both sides for alarm. Already discussed with Ori earlier, to me, old school thinking cutting brake pipes without the knowledge that these are electrical cables All IMO
C**NTS either way!!!!!
