i was looking in my "tool box" and i found this http://img414.imageshack.us/img414/8536/img05760ez.jpg



anyone have anyidea what they are for? the lil black piece says BMW on it?????

Wheel locks?

wheels locks with a key? really i juts bought this car ...

Some had regular keys to unlock them. Or, did it come with a roofrack? those look like keys to lock the rack to the car.

idk if they came with a roofrack, will not when i bought the car.

looks like a porsche wheel lock key. well...the porsche key looks more like a flag and says porsche on it. i'd still say it's some sort of wheel lock key.

Glove box lock?

nope tired glove box.........

some wheel locks ( early edition) did have that type of key, they are discontinued now but by the looks of them that's what they are.

I agree, wheel lock keys.

i second the motion - wheel locks it is.

whats the lil black thing then???? it says BMW on it..

Instead of asking all these questions, why not just look at all your lugs?

I got two of these keys when I bought my car and I have no idea what they are to either. My sa at my dealership looked at them and even asked a tech and he had no idea. No Locks on the wheels, ignition key goes in the glove box, I can't figure it out either....they look like luggage lock keys to me.

hey buddy i think im smart enough 2 know i don't have wheels lock duh..

like i said i just bought this car. thanx anyways


so i guess the vote is wheels locks..

thanx guys

Well, don't throw the keys away. There are wheel locks that look exactly like wheel bolts. You just don't want to be sorry if you get a flat and took it for granted that there are no locks on your wheels.

side mounted on body alarm key lock

thanx man i didn't mean 2 be mean but i'll keep them anyways thanx bro


side mount what???

I really think they are for a roof rack lock. Do this, get the flat black thing and see if it fits in the roof rack channel cover on your car. You can pretty much use a dime or a screwdriver to pop it open, but I have a feeling the black thing is just the right size.

hummm your maybe right i'll try it.... 2 morrow

If not what beastmaster suggested to you then perhaps a previous owner had a trunk mount bike rack- I'm pretty sure the bike rack was an add-on from the dealership- 2 keys, 2 bikes? I know, I know, bike racks suck but hell theres a guy on here somewhere that pulls a horse trailer with a 540. I prefer the clean look of the trunk as opposed to a couple huffys or god forbid a horse trailer.

somebodys old luggage.

it's the keys to your heart <3 <3 <3... BMW thought of everything back then.

Looks like luggage rack lock keys to me. My vote is that.:dunno:
