They are the standard BMW M14 x 1.25 wheel bolts, so any of the usual suppliers are available, like McGard or BMW.

Thanks. I had my wheels stolen on my q50 years ago so I'm paranoid.

We've had a rash of wheel thefts in my area. So far, only impacting Honda and Acura cars, but it shifts...

Wheel locks don't slow them down though. They still get them off in under a minute.

My BMW wheel lock key was stolen when my car was in for service. When I got a replacement at the Parts counter, I found that there were only 5 variants to the keys. I wonder if McGard has more variants? The BMW part looks just like the McGard part.

Anybody know how the thieves are bypassing the locks?
