I need help/advice! Someone stole my keys while I was at the gym and the only key that I had for my wheel locks was on the key chain! I have the style of wheel locks that are in this thread....http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...ferrerid=29695 Unfortunately I never wrote down the code on the keys (genius, I know) and when I bought the car private sale I was only given one key.
Does anyone know if (1) can the wheel locks be forcefully removed? (2) will forcefully removing the wheel locks damage my wheels (I have OEM M5 wheels-not shown in the sig)? (3) can I remove the locks myself with standard tools (drill, dremmel, hammer, etc.) (4) if I cannot remove the locks myself what kind of price am I looking at to have it removed by an indy shop or the stealership?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! Winter is coming and I want to get that summer rubber off! Plus if I get a flat I'm SCREWED!
Thanks

Had the same situation happen with a lock I had on the outdrive on my boat. The lock manufacturer was McGard and they were happy to send me a new key, your name is probably in the database of the mfg., otherwise I would contact a locksmith for initial advise.
good luck

That DIY method will work, but if you need to do all four wheels its a pain in the *** getting the lug back out of the socket.
If you want to save yourself the stress of doing it that way, they actaully make a tool for this job....
