Hi Everyone

I currently have a 2008 BMW M3 and my car was produced with the standard locking wheel bolt which i understand is easily removed by theives. I have also added another set of locking wheel bolts which are the new ones from BMW which are actually made by Mc Guard for them so they are basically black Mc Guard Ultras. Is there any other sets I should try and for those of you on here who have changed your locking wheel bolts which ones have you used?

Im most keen to find out what people have used after they have had there wheels pinched because they are obviously the ones the fu**ers cant get off.

I have heard that if you park full lock it makes it more difficult for these theives to remove the wheels. This true?

Thanks guys.

I am a little paranoid as you can tell.

I think 2 sets of locking wheel nuts are more than enough to be honest.

btw, bit off topic, are you Taras brother?

I should hope so. I only had the originals on my Z4M with CSL's and I think it was luck they didn't get pinched.

Yes I am her brother. How comes you know her?

Ah nice. I've heard about your car history.

I know her through Laura, Not seen her for a few months, chat to her on fb now and again though.

No she hasn't. For the amount she uses her car I think hers is the best bet. Got a good deal on it as I got it the same day I bought my Z4M last year.
