01 3.0 lost locking wheel nut adaptor. - hatman
I've managed to lose the little adaptor that fits into the locking nut on my 51 plate 330i Sport - I've been trying to Google a solution and seem to hear a lot about a Gaitor Grip and also a Laser 3192. Would either of these be able to remove the bolts from the BMW alloy?

Pop along to your nearest tyre garage. Most, if not all *should* have the necessary tool to remove the security bolts/nuts.

Your local BMW agent will have a full set and will sell you a replacement whilst lightening your wallet. Regards Peter
