BMW wheel locks are a great way to protect your expensive wheel and tire investment. They are you best friend when it comes to stumping novice wheel thieves, but quickly become your worst enemy if they ever break and you need to remove them without a key. In this video, I show you how to remove BMW wheel locks in case your lock ever becomes too damaged for the key to work. I want to give a huge shoutout to everyone who gave me suggestions, and of course, my dad and my neighbor who came through with the brute strength.
I don’t want anyone to use this information with bad intentions. FYI, this took about a half hour for one lock and the whole neighborhood could hear us. You probably won’t want to steal a wheel with this method.

Wait, wait, wait... did the police come????? Lol
My neighbor lol
🤣😂 I was WHATTTTTT!
Damn Justin doesn't play... He called the Police on that little lug, then beat the crap out of it.
👮♂️🔨
“What superhuman put this on?” Lolll
A normal human with an impact wrench.
Not all bmw . bmw lock has spinning ring even when you put socket it will spin the ring this works with solid wheel lock
Way to go Dad!!! Glad you got it off and that your dad didn't hurt him self when the lug wrench came loose.
This works on some locking wheel nuts but many of them have a ring on the outside that just spins so you can't do this.
I will be trying this, thank you, have watched 3 videos on this technique and you had the most trouble, the others were done in less than a minute, makes me think the wheel lock was already loose. x fingers for me.
Thanks to this video, I have been able to remove locks without the key. With that being said, I have 6 sets of rims for sale ya'll. :D
Thank you so much for this video and solution! Stripped one key on the third wheel, bought two new ones and got that third wheel off, then stripped both new ones in the fourth. What pieces of crap! Had a 21mm 6 point and 22mm 12 point, neither worked. Bought the 21mm 12 point and had the sucker off in 1 minute. Thanks again!!
Fun to watch! Glad you filmed this! Was nervous for the wheels and camera the whole way!
Bmw will sell you the wheel key you need
I love that your parents neighbors came to help 😂
The first thing I do whenever I get a new car is to dispose of the wheel locks. They are more trouble then they are worth. Most people don't need them unless they are living in Compton or the Bronx.
I recommend adding a breaker bar to your tool box. Ratchet with a pipe (cheater bar) will only work so long until the ratchet breaks. If that happens, you are SOL on finishing the job unless you have a spare.
Just bought one a few weeks ago. So much better!
Huge thank you! I never would have thought of this method. I have a 2003 E46, and used 22mm. Worked! Now onto brake job.
^
I'm a bit late to the party dude, but BMW have keys to them all 😂😂😂 I was watching this and then went to BMW and they gave me the key for $20
Thanks! This helped me steal a lot of wheels!
Hopefully nobody notices you with a sledge hammer beating on a wheel lol
@@justinbuice 😂😂😂
Almost 100k keep it up
But 2:19 was funny
Dude. You just saved me $55 for a new wheel lock key from BMW. Took wheels off to paint rusted rotor hubs and replace VMR caps with BMW caps and got down to the last wheel and the key broke. I know what I'm doing after work tomorrow!
I used the same method thanks to you to remove one my lock that was stuck on my BMW X1....worked perfectly! Thanks
Tip: always use painters blue tap on all sockets used to put on or remove sockets. To prevent scratching wheels
Wow, I learned something today🔥
Damn it... it's fucken common sense man! Use "Anti-seize" cream (copper is best) on all you wheel lug nuts and YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A FUCKEN' LUG STUCK EEEEEVVVVEEEERRRRR AAAAAGGGGGGAAAAAAIIIIIIINNNNN! Makes taking them off soo damn easy... Always use a long arm socket breaker and an extra long metal tube for torque just in case you need too! All this fit nicely somewhere in the rear trunk for future uses!
With the "new" version of the BMW wheel locks this method doesn't work! ;-)
Thank you for the video... I just experienced the same worry.. I did what the video advised, lo and behold! It worked!!!!
Many thank you to you for uploading 🙏
Ok, so this worked great but now my lug is permanently attached to my socket….
This might be a dumb question but are u able to put a non keyless lug nut back on the key one?
Painful to watch, so many wrong tools used, from something that looks like a toffee hammer, a kids wheel brace, and a ratchet hit with that toffee hammer.
Kiddo, it could have been much easier. But u did it, and that's what matters
What is the key called? I need to order one, when i bought my car it wasnt with the tools. Have a flat and cant remove tire
I have a question. So I put my old wheels on my bmw e39, and they are stuck. I remove all the log nuts (sorry for spelling I’m foreigner) and the wheel won’t come off. I hit it multiple times and still it won’t come off. Any ideas?
Turn in lugs 6-7 times drive back and forth 4-5 feet. Till wheel breaks common bmw problem out white lithium greese on the hub and the rim when changing tires
Your A G brother good family, Euro Videos 👍👌 I got a E90 335D your videos are very motivational and inspiring god bless
Why the hell you have wheels lock anyway living in a nice neighborhood. Wheels lock are only living in the ghetto
Wheels can get stolen anywhere. People target some of the wealthier communities near me, stealing wheels off of new cars and then flipping them on Craigslist.
I always figured my insurance would pay for new wheels!!
Wheels can be stolen from anywhere. Doesn’t matter where you live.
BMW bad design for Nut wheel. It is very hard maintenance.
Woo! Glad you got it off
such a relief lol
What's the point of putting that security nut on, the rims aren't even that special.
Dude replace OEM BMW wheel hub with after market with studs on it! More content please
Those wheels are sick👍🏽
People would be dumb to try this and get caught and hurt.
Torque on the wheels is 80 ft-lbs. Looks more like 120 😬
I need you guys lol
BMW really badly designed those and destined them to fail
This video was very helpful. I had same bolt. I used 22mm socket, 21mm was to small. Thanks man💪😌
Which series BMW ? E70?
I don't have wheel locks (yet) but I'm grateful for this info. Always good to see father and son working together!
Kkknkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkk k kkknkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkk kk kokkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkknnkkknnkkkk okkknnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk k kkkkkk. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkn njkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkokkkkkkkk 😊😊😊😊 kkp
Wtf is that a cop just too remove a dam nut lock lol im confused o.o awkward
That’s my neighbor. He just got off work and asked if we needed help
Someone send this to Valterri Bottas
This just happened to me
I Tried it on BMW 330! using a 21mm, and it worked without issues. Now I didn’t use a slash hammer, I used a regular hammer.
You know what???? After seeing this video i have ordered 5 Right size socket for my selff so i dont need to see this situation even i loss 2-3 sockets hahahahahaahah as i dont have sludge hammer and may cost equal to 2-3 sockets costs.. but hey.. thanks mmmate.. i enjoyed.. it honestly..
Is the rim damaged !? 😭😭
The cops 👮♀️ ????? Now that’s really calling the heavy artillery. You weren’t kidding!!!
That wrench is junk
Would you buy a 2nd hand car, that has frostiness, under cap of the radiator, oil well. And what would you do if you saw, water in the driver's side in the engine? Shaun of NYC
Even the police were rushed to scene of the broken nut...
LOL
Kinetic energy always wins.. Did it once with a stripped out #45 torx.. hammered a #50 in and out came the bolt.
I have the same problem now... I was in the middle of changing out my rear brakes and was on the last bolt when I realized it’s rounded off. I first need to buy a bolt from BMW before attempting a smaller size socket. Fml.
It's not everyday a Cop will take off his jacket to help you!...Cool Video man!
i lost too!! I am fucked !!
I've tired every method without any luck. I took it to a reliable auto mechanic. Thus far they are working on removing it.
Glad you got it off, I also sent you a message on your Facebook page about my 328i having a cold start misfire. Can you help?
Next time save yourself the trouble get yourself some easy outs and a breaker bar a bigger breaker bar would give you more leverage you can get everything at advance auto ✌🏿
I have the same problem today with my Audi A3, funny was it's was the last wheel as well
NEVER ask 'The Terminator' to tighten up your Wheelnuts!
i got the same problems in mi E90. Thanks for your videos and your help Justin
Your Car just keeps looking nicer and nicer. Btw whats the name of the outro song?
I think that socket method with an impact screwdriver socket would have had that off in a few smacks of the hammer.
mine was removed in 2 seconds, the lock was burnt red-hot on one side to make a slit and hammered a flat head on that dent to loosen the wheel lock
always use 1/2" drive sockets breaker bar and some muscle takes it off
Guy: what super human put this on?
Lug: that super human happens to be a super air gun
Does this apply to the OEM BMW high security locks?
2:55 *OUCH*
3/8 socket wrench usually pretty hard to get em off lol
Worked like a champ!! Thank you.
Been trynna know what the outro song is for so long any ideas? Haha
Buy the key off the dealers. Probably just a few bobs
Could this method damage the car in any way?
You ever thought about getting a zed four? Just curious
GOOD JOB everyone! Beautiful VMR's unscathed. My son and I torque the VMR's on his E46 to 88 ft. lbs. !!!!! Best practice when removing wheels, Lock off first, back on last.
wouldn't it be easier if he jack the car up?
did you call 911 for help ?.......give them some donuts they will do all work for you.
That’s my neighbor
Worked perfectly. Thanks
This video just saved me. Thanks bro
T wrench? Lol that's like so 1950s dude! Hope you didn't damage that rim beating the snot out of that lug
Lol I bought a real breaker bar recently. MUCH better
I was 🙏 for your wheel happy that sledgehammer worked. We use the same technique at the shop but, with a handheld sledge. Please go to harborfreight and buy a breaker bar my ocd goes bananas when people don't use them.. happy its off and your wheel in safe👍
I have a breaker bar now 😎
Pretty sure hammering will cause damage
Worked like a charm! Thanks for the video!
You should also use an impact socket as these chrome ones shatter. Shorts also happen to be better since they won't hit your wheel. I would use a strong impact extension too to take the hammering
Thanks
22mm worked like magic
Thank you. It worked perfectly.
Lots of thanks from Zimbabwe. Was stressing over this
Fantastic work guys 👍🏻👍🏻
Could of gotten a nut extractor kit
hey Justin would you recommend the VMR wheels for pothole ridden roads
Yeah mine survived in MI. I would strongly recommend 18's with a thicker tire rather than 19's though
Justin, my man! Big thanks to you and your old man. 💯 Just got through bangin a 21mm to get my lug off. Love the videos, drive safe and keep up the good work. 👍
that metal pipe comes in handy. i have one just to loosen my tire nuts.
fondoo my dude,tire nuts? Really?
wheel nuts. it was getting late and i should really be sleeping instead of watching these videos on youtube
Sweet! A good idea to try of We get stuck.
nice vid mate.. thanks alot
How do you like those Continental tires???
Is that your first set???
I love them. I have all season Continentals on this car and Continental summer performance tires on my wife’s FR-S
Glad you got your wheel off.
Omg what you are tools use.
