so i intended to change my brakes today. i got everything together had it all set up and before i jack i go to my utility bag in the back of the boot and pour out the contents to get my wheel lock. it's not there and it has gone missing. any suggestions on how i could get off my wheels with the factory wheel lock on there?

please help!

 

could the dealer have a wheel lock thing for you?

 

Did you have the tires replaced at a shop lately ??? Theyy might still have it ,when mine turned up missing I went back and they produced a box of 100 or so of "keys" I spent about 2 hours but found it

Other options I've had to use ... Drill out the center and use an easy out to get them off
Cut the center with a dremel and tap them off with a chisel...
Weld a nut on the top and use it to back them out

 

When I got my wheel locks, I was given two keys. One stays in the car and the other stays at home. Either the dealer has it, or maybe you stashed it somewhere at home?

 

not sure what to suggest but I was lucky enough to find mine during a similar situation. Just make sure that if you have "drill" that luck out...the BMW lock come with a number that if you loose, they will be able to replace the male part ofr you.
Good luck!

If it was a wheel that was on the car at delivery just go to the part dept either the mini or BMW side. They have a case with all the keys. They just match it up and order you a new one.

 

Do what thieves do: use a Gator Grip universal socket. Auto stores have them. Just make sure you get a size that will fit your lock. Good luck!
This is what they look like

 

thanks for the help guys
