Help me purchase a wheel lock key adapter

Axius · 03-14-2016, 01:14 PM

I lost my wheel key when I drove away for a test drive. Shut up. Don't want to hear it.

So the box to my normal studs has the numbers "36 13 6 764 057". This leads me to believe that I have a 36 series 17mm stud, can someone confirm this for me?

I attached a snapshot from realoem listing all the adapter codes and I don't see how it could be anything other than 36 since none of the other numbers match up.

Thanks for any assistance!

Note that ALL of the P/N's you can see in your realoem snap start with "36". That is the base part number for the wheel locks. It is not the code.

Edit: I just searched on Google for your P/N (36 13 6 764 057). You have the old style wheel locks. You will need to look through the documents in the box the locks came from to find the code card.

Is it the McGard type with a squiggle in the center of the bolt or is it the old BMW style with a kind of star pattern with a center pin? If it is the old BMW style there is only one key. If it the McGard one you will need to find the correct code.

Thanks, definitely didn't notice that.

It basically looks like a spline gear. The center of the stud is has a 20 some tooth fine-ish spline, and the adapter has the matching spline teeth. BMW stealership said I should have a card somewhere that denotes the code, but I'll have to check manuals and stuff to find the card.

What's the code?

Honestly wheel locks don't work.

Hammer a slightly smaller sized socket onto the lock and use an impact driver. Lock defeated.

Trust me, I know.

Not that I would bang a socket on to a mounted lug, but either Jalopnik or Autoblog in the past few weeks had a video entry on how to socket the lock of the stud.

I'm just going to buy a new lock key and swap them out with regular lugs that are in the trunk. Should have done it before, but hindsight is 75/75.

Put it on cinder blocks at night. Confuse em.

Axius · 03-14-2016, 05:18 PM

Found one online, $16 shipped from ECS. Should be here in 3 days.

Now just wait for another thread when I do it all over again.

So, why did you lose it when you went for a test drive?

THIS is a good question. Ask him how he lost the first one too.

Pretty sure if someone steals my wheels, my insurance company is going to drop me when I make a claim.

First one I left on the stud after tightening down and drove off. This time, my neighbor commented on me leaving it on there and how it'd suck, so I know for a fact that I took it off, I just have no idea where I put the damn thing.

Not permitted to repeat without unsolicited flaming. Glad you finally found one. Keep it in plastic like your other socket.

I lost my wheel lock a while back and I ended up going to the dealer to get it replaced. They have this little box with all the different wheel locks that ever came on any BMW built to see which one would fit. They didn't have an extra of mine in stock so I had to order it. Ended up costing me $15 and it arrived 2 days later.
