Did anyone get wheel locks yet? What size lug bolts for the G01: M14x1.25?

My dealer has been trying to find out the correct part # from BMW, but it's been 6 weeks now and BMW comes up with 3 different part #'s but they are not sure which ones are correct. Bunch of boneheads.
What a way to operate a business.

These came with delivery from my dealership. I always negotiate 2 sets of mats, license plate holders and wheel locks. Double check the storage area under the boot. I assumed these were standard equipment with all new G01s or maybe just standard in my area.

Thanks for posting that pic. This confirms that is the same set I have/used on my F80, so I'm good to go on the G01. Do let us know if for some reason that set doesn't work!

Oh, those definitely don't come "standard". If it has a part number, and it's not already on your Monroney sticker, someone is paying for it

I came up with that part # weeks ago, yet earlier today, I called BMW and asked about the correct part #. They said they still don't have any info on the correct wheel locks for the G01.
How ignorant are these people?
This along with 6 weeks and still no confirmed date on rear spoiler part availability almost makes me regret getting this vehicle.

What do you mean by rear spoiler part? Is this standard on the M40i or is it a BMW Performance part or something?

It's standard on all 2018 X3's, no matter which version. It's the shadowline/black colored plastic part that runs along the bottom of the liftgate spoiler. Under the body colored top spoiler part.

My 30d M Pack in Oz, that I pick up on Saturday has Comfort Access on all 4 doors.

I took delivery of my M40 today and it came with wheel locks.

Let's see some pictures of that baby!

FCBayernFTW · 12-26-2017, 06:25 AM

From what I can see, none of these come with spray nozzles for the headlights, right?

Delija · 12-26-2017, 07:03 AM

You're right. It's not listed in optional equipment.

Most Xenon HIDs required them for ECE approval, IIRC if it's over 2000 lumens on the low/dipped beam it's required. LED headlights typically aren't that high.

Does anyone has the training manuals for the G01? They seem to be available for most other models

Thank you for posting the link. It is interesting to see how German manuals are using English expressions such as "overview of special tools".

Oh wow! This would be the ultimate SAV if available here.

some sales told me the invoice price is 5% off the MSRP, not 7% anymore.

Is that accurate?
