No wheel lock key

Ok so I found an issue with my new to me M340. It came with wheel locks but no key! I’ve reached out to Braman BMW in Miami but they are not responding. I guess once you buy a used vehicle they figure they are done with you. I have no paperwork on the wheel locks. Usually the dealer provides you with the other 4 lugs too. I got nothing. Trying to figure out a way to take them off without ruining my unblemished wheels,

If I’d looked everywhere, I’d go back to the dealer and have them use a shop key and get a new set with a key.

Good luck

Reach out to Braman by going there in person. It is hard to ignore someone in person.

Be polite though. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

Contact Desmond Ballard in the service department at Braman. He is the best guy there. He goes out of his way to help. He will at the very least get you talking to the person you need to talk too.

I live in homestead and life is way too busy right now to swing by. I may just take it to a local shop. Braman works very hard to sell you a car but if you need help after forget about it!!!

I made the trek to the dealer. Couldn’t believe it took the over 3 hours to swap out the wheel locks. Got a text that Car was ready but when I went to get it, they couldn’t find it. Another half hour waiting. Braman BMW sucks. At least I wasn’t charged!

Glad that you got it sorted but what a PITA.
