mate i dont know what you are looking at but my factory locks are a cylinder with the teeth on the inside, the key is like a bolt head with a keyed shank, where the teeth are on the outside.and it fits into the wheel bolt head
its a simple matter of going to a BMW dealer and requesting a replacement, thats assuming of course that we are talking about the factory locking system

You would not believe how difficult it can get to source small parts locally! I live in a tiny island off venezuela. For example pagid pads are 150 usd by me for the front only!
I am greatful to all on this forum.

Why not see if you could get a torx or an allen key to to fit inside the bolt head. Not unless your set has a pin the middle which prevents one from using a torx or allen key.

FWIW, the OE BMW wheel locks are hardened and the "pound a socket on" will not grip them. This only works on cheap non-hardened locks. I would bet the pic in that prior post is not a hardened wheel lock, BMW hard locks are black for starters.

They work fine but I got annoyed having to pull out the "skate key" every time I wanted to remove a wheel for any service.
I bought four new normal wheel bolts at my dealer and removed the wheel locks, metal is recycled. I run the basic 17" wheels, so someone needs to be quite hard up to take these wheels

Sorry about your dilemma. Could you contact BMW services (not sure who this would be exactly) and explain the issue. If your local dealer can verify it to them for you, maybe you could order a key based on the information you have. I don't know enough about the BMW locks or how many variations they have to know if this is possible.
