bmrboi2 is on a distinguished road
I had a similar issue when the dealer replaced my tires on the 135. 2 guys standing on the end of a wrench wasnt breaking it loose. I brought it back in to the dealer and it was confirmed that they were torqued way too damn tight. They had to break off two of the lugs to get them off. Chewed the shit out of the wheels and resurfaced them free of charge. Someone was a little over zealous with their impact. Hence why I dont use an impact to tighten wheels, just a good 'ol fashioned lug wrench tighten while its up and then tighten when its back down. NEVER had an issue. I also am fed up with locking lugs. I tore them off the X5 the second I bought it. If you are stupid enough to steal the wheels off of a 5000 lb SUV then have at it. I have insurance.
