I've checked through everything. The only items in the tool kit were a tow hook and a screwdriver ( MY 2010 )

This is a good way for the dealer to insure your return.

Next thing they will be putting locks on the windshield washer filler :-)

The dealer told me it will one to two weeks to get a new key ( no kidding).

I took it there slowly and had them remove the lock lug bolts and replace w/ standard. My car is kept in a fairly secure facility.

No charge to remove the locks, but $6.45 each (full list price) for the replacement lugs.

You cannot use the Snap-on tool to break and remove them either as the outer collar rotates. A very good design.

Now that I have them removed I may consider spending the $29 to get the key, maybe.

I checked the window sticker and wheel locks are not listed. I did find when running the VIN through a dealer's information site that the locks and nitrogen inflation was installed at the dealer, so shame on them for not providing it.

All of my 'P' cars came with the key in the tool kit from the factory, so I assumed that BMW would be the same. Never had the need to look for it until today.

Thought it would be a good idea to remind everyone to check to see if they had one.

Thank you.

Regards,
