wait till you have to start using all the new electronic e-brakes coming on the cars now.....FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU New? Didn't BMW do this in like.. 2005? Much later than that. Maybe on the peasant models. None of mine use the E-hand brake. (Thank goodness).
E65 had it

A gorilla that works at ParkShore BMW in Vancouver 
The 3 other wheels were fine, all torqued to spec, don't ask me what they did to this one.
Sheared the 3rd wheel lock, even snapped a 3/8>1/2in adapter on my breaker bar I used after I hammered in a 12pt security socket to see if that would work.
If I had a 20mm 12pt I could probably get it off, but it's late, I'm hungry and I'm sick of working in the dark on this fucking car. I gotta now code out TPMS because of course the winter tires don't have sensors and the car doesn't like that.

Nope, Canadian car. If in fact they don't have sensors inside, why the fuck is my TPMS going crazy as soon as I removed the factory wheels?
I just reset via iDrive, we'll see if that does anything.

Yeah, I don't think I have them. I think I'm just a moron and didn't reset the monitor in iDrive

I got the security bit to stick (I think it was a 19mm) but the fucking adapter sheared right off, lol.

If you can get a small amount of heat to the wheel lock like a butane torch, that would help some.

I broke 2 BMW key locks and a 1/2 inch extension before giving up and bringing my X3 to the dealer. These were BMW aka McGaurd flower pattern key locks. Couldn't bring myself to torch the lug nut as not to ruin the wheel finish. Switched to the newer style keys and haven't had an issue yet.
Interesting vid on the effects of applying anti-seize or lubricant on your wheel studs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3ndeXiZUeM I used to apply a small amount to keep the threads clean but not anymore.

Btw 4age I'll buy your car this spring ok!!! wtf i didnt know it was for sale XD XD How are guys snapping the wheel locks? This be cray. BMW needs to be torqued to like 88 or some such right? Never had an issue with them (when I ran them). Though I no longer use wheel locks at all.
Tell me about it. Like I said 3 wheels were butter, but this 4th one is being a bastard.

now that is a sick car. saw one just like that back in the day orange on black interior for sale for only $1800 at richmond hill toyota. i always kicked myself for not buying it.

oh and for you guys breaking lock nuts, not sure if you can do this with bmw wheel bolts but it's worth a try.
i did this on my friends integra. just grab a shitty socket slightly bigger than the lug, heat that fucker up on the stove (i used a propane torch) hold it by the extention and hammer that bitch on and let it cool. lug nut cranked right off.
I did that. I used a 12 point socket instead of the usual 6 point. Made it a bit easier.
One socket, one hammer and a breaker bar and off came the lock nut. Makes you wonder why we bother with those damn things since it's so easy to remove them without the key.
