Nothing in the glove box, door pockets and even the sunglasses compartment! $hit...i even popped the hood for $hits and giggles...NOTHING! Now I called BMW and what they told me that because I bought the car CPO and not new they are not responsible for the key. I told them they never gave me a key So they said I would need to bring the car in because they have a "master set " to see which one it is...than they would have to order the wheel lock and than they said they would charge me for it? I told them "are u *ucking kidding me! He said with no hesitation "no...that's not our problem that's your problem!" Unbelievable customer service!

Something is not right here, so you havent had a flat tire, brakes or a tire rotation since owning your car? If you have, the wheel lock is in there somewhere. If you don't find it and don't want to deal with the dealer, just take your car to a tire shop (call them first ) and have them remove the locks. They can usually impact them off with a special socket that they pound on over your lock with a hammer, assuming theres clearence in the lug hole on your old wheels. Or take it to the dealer and have them remove your locks with thier "master key" and say f' it and don't get another stock key, (yes you can drive home with only 4 lugs per wheel) you can get locks for bmw for like $30 bucks I'm sure the replacement key will be more than that. One more thing, after you get this figured out I hope you plan on putting your wheels yourself.. I would never trust a tire monkey to use your new lugs or attempt the install, if they scratch them you will go ape shit crazy
