Lost my wheel lock key

headlee103 · 09-13-2010, 10:13 AM

So I had BMW wheel locks on my car and I have no idea how it happened but I lost it. I called the dealership to ask if they could just take them off for me, but they told me I would have to schedule an appointment!

So from what I am hearing, BMW makes quite a few different thread thread styles for the lock. I know that the dealership has a master key and could take them off in 10 seconds, but I dont really feel like going through the hassle if I dont have to.

So is there anywhere that I can figure out which thread style I have and just order a new key?

Thanks Craig, I tried shane, but he accidentily sent his away with his spacers!!

So he doesnt have a key now either! But anyway I was thinking with my order number or something they could just look it up and order a new one, who knows. Whenever I called the dealership the first guy didnt even know what wheel locks were, so I knew it wasnt gonna turn out well.

I recommend you go to the BMW dealer, chances are some other method will screw up your studs then what? better be safe then sorry.

Im sure if you run by your local BMW they can test a few different keys in a few minutes to let you know which one it is.

Supposed to have 2 keys. Other methods (tire shop) will scratch your rims, take it to the dealer.
