Here is some EXTRA info:

When you go to www.realoem.com, and input BMW part #36-13-6-792-851, it confirms that it will fit a BMW X3

See Link:

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partxref....ur=&series=F25
Part 36136792851 (SET WHEEL LOCKS) was found on the following F25 vehicles:

F25 X3 28iX SUV, N52N (WX53) : SET WHEEL LOCKS
F25 X3 35iX SUV, N55 (WX73) : SET WHEEL LOCKS

More Info:

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-wheel-locks.htm

"Wheel locks are specialized lug nuts designed to prevent the theft ....""Wheel locks work like conventional lug nuts to bolt wheels to a motor vehicle, and they come in a variety of sizes and configurations to support installation on most vehicles, rims, and tires. Most installations require the use of four wheel locks – one for each wheel, while the rest of the tire's lug nuts can be of the conventional type."

In case you were unable to understand what was stated above, it is simply saying that wheel locks are similar to conventional lug nuts, however they have a different pattern at the end so that you can only remove it when you use the wheel lock key. Hope this helps educate you when it comes to wheel locks. I'm not sure if there is a more simpler way of describing this. However, I still advise that you do your own personal research in regards to wheel locks and BMW Part# 36-13-6-792-851.

Also, if you check getbmwparts.com (a BMW dealer's website), and search for 36-13-6-792-851, it describes them as a "Wheel lock kit"

To see a sketch of what they look like from BMW:

Although I did this research for you now, this does NOT change my original statement in my ad that is is the BUYER's responsibility to confirm that BMW Part# 36-13-6-792-851 will indeed fit his/her vehicle. I hope I helped shed some light on your confusion.
