Have you tried in the boot on the right hand side under the first aid kit? There should be a little tray/cubby hole that comes out and it's in there

Looking into boot under the floor left hand side, locking key should be next to the tow adapter.

I can see the tow eye and the little screwdriver, but nothing else.

It must be missing then, there doesnt seem to be a specific place for it - though there is a small recess it could go in there.

thanks all

There's definitely two little clips that hold onto it.

It's easy enough to get a new one in piece time, there's only 13 different keys, but obviously the dealers are closed currently!

On a F33 the locking wheel remover sits inside the eye of the tow adapter. I damaged one removing tight locking bolt but got a replacement from BMW took a week to come and if I remember around £30.

Oh, I was also wrong about the number of different keys, there’s actually 22.

You can buy all 22 from eBay for £70:

And then, you can remove all wheels from any F3X lying around
