I have a flat tire and no wheel lock key for my M240i.

The Firestone near me cannot help unless they cut it.

The dealer is over an hour away. I didn’t think to check for this when I bought it.

The dealership hasn’t been super helpful.

I do not have run flats.

Don’t be like me.

    Not exact the same situation, but when I swapped the RF’s for PS4S’ I had no idea that the dealer had installed wheel keys on the car so when Discount Tire pulled it in to swap tires, they quickly came out and asked where the key was.

    I was like, fuck, I didn’t know that it had those installed and had no where the key may be knowing I didn’t see it in the glove box when I took possession.

    Fortunately it - along with the 4 original wheel bolts - was under the truck floor in the storage cubby.

    Was a whew moment for sure. Sorry for your issue OP, people should not install key locks IMO

      Reminds me of my first car when i went in to change summer tires and he asked me where is the key for the bolts. i was scared and kinda surprised. I was like “Why are you asking me for you’re the guy that should know and have em”. He explained he needed bmw one that i should have in the car usually in the tire kit. Yeah i learned a lot about wheels then.
