Hi everyone, after lurking for a while and reading up on E30's i recently bought one for myself.

Its in very good condition, but required a new wheel bearing. So today i've gone to replace the bearing myself, but the wheels have nutlocks, and i have no key. The previous owner has no idea where the key has gone.

So, is there anywhere i can get a new key? or if not can anyone suggest a way to pry these locks off

Thanks in advance

Your only option is to drill the wheel lock center and break thru it, will come off then

Wheel-stores have usually quite a collection of those locks / opening things, maybe worth asking?

You should post a picture of the locking lug. If its a BMW original, you can go to the dealership. They have a master kit.

If it requires a small key, you can take some vise grips and wrench of the lock portion....it will expose the hex head nut.

GL!
