The keys are specific to the lock. You would need to know the number for the lock you need (which is on the end of the bolt which you can't see of course)

Probably best to get them removed or try the dealer.

Beyond hammering on a slightly larger socket or a reverse threaded special tool - dealers often have a Mcgard wheel lock master set - worth finding out.

And you checked the cars under trunk, glove box and center console as well as the little hidden cubby below the light switch for the key.

If they are BMW wheel locks, you can just go to your dealership for a new one. A tire shop lost my lock so I called the dealership and the said it was $20 so I had the shop give me $20 to pay for a new one.

I've never had to do it thankfully but you should just call around to some mechanics or wheel shops and see if either they have experience removing them or if they have a set of wheel lock keys and could remove them that way.

Yes, I they are in fact BMW wheel locks. I believe there were only 5 or 6 different styles and the parts guy can tell you which one you have on your car.

It would help if you posted a picture of the wheel locks so members can further help with the issue.

If you're having trouble finding the specific wheel lock pattern you need on eBay, you may want to consider reaching out to sellers directly to inquire about availability. You can also broaden your search to include other online marketplaces or specialty automotive shops that may carry a wider range of wheel locks. Additionally, consider posting a "wanted" ad on online forums or community groups related to automotive accessories. This way, sellers who have the wheel lock you need may reach out to you directly. Be sure to provide clear details about the specific pattern or model you're looking for to increase your chances of finding a match.
