I have seen an e30 for sale in coventry with bottletop alloys, The locking nut can only be opened by a key which the owner has not got, Is there any other way it can be opened??

Are they the original E30 locking nuts?
If so get just drill the middle out and pull on the lock and the pins will fall where u drill and it will fall out

Hammer and chisel usually works for me.
