Can't you just leave the BMW locking wheel nuts on and then add the Mcguards so that you have 2 locking wheel nuts on, or have I missed something?

Pain in the arse to have 2 keys to lose, may as well ditch the BMW locks as any thief will have the keys for those anyway...

This is exactly what I've heard from other sources and I'm thinking of getting another set of BMW McGuards as an extra precaution.
