Exclamation Does X3's come with wheels lock by default ?

My 2011 tires are showing a little age. I could place the lock in the glove box. Wondering whether the wheel locks are standard!

I do have some difficulties in understanding the logic of your message, however, in Italy the lock is standard, and it's in the small door on the left side of the trunk.'

Looks like it varies by country. In the US they're definitely not standard.

If you can't find the key I'd suggest contacting the selling dealer and inquire about its location. Check inside the owners manual or your paperwork for the lock key ID# to order another.

No, definitely not standard. If you have them it's because the dealer is tossing them in.

Not standard here either, dealer does put them on.

I had no luck finding my key recently, but the dealership knows where they hide those things and found it for me. I won't make that mistake again. Besides, the dealerships all (I think) have a master wheel lock key so don't need to use the one in the vehicle.

As to the OP, I really have no idea what they are saying??
