Is there supposed to be no socket

Am I missing something?

You need a Torx driver

Interesting, thought these all used 16mm bolts, haven't seen Torx used for this yet

BWM has gone to Torx, they no longer offer the hex. Any car with hex would require a new torx going forward. I recently replaced my wheel, I can see why they changed, nice grip on the bolt for the torq when holding the wheel with one hand and the wrench in the other.
