Hi guys small emergency here, does anyone know where to get hold of a replacment key that unlocks the hub cap covers on alpina wheels as mine has broke and i have a puncture and i cant change my wheel!!!!

Have you tried the dealers..

not yet.... happened hour ago but will trot down if no joy here

the keys have to be ordered!
and they are coded! if u dont have the code u are fooked!

or the other option is drill out the old locks and order a replacement lock set!

should set ya back around Ԛ£90 i think going from memory!

what alpina wheels do you have??

paul you nutcase. wish i could help you out
how about using a halfords tyre inflator in a can to sort it out til a key comes through?
you will have to get a new tyre but at least u can drive ur car. dont drive it flat tho..

the problem is that to inflate the tyre i have to get to the valve-which is under the locked cap!
i did not know about any code, i got ones from 95 -96 plain 20 spoke rims not deep dish or split rims

there were a set of three alpina locks & key on ebay earlier today...

yeah if genuine!
all alpina rims have a coded key for the lock on each wheel!

do u have the broken key?
is there any numbers on it??

they are genuine factory fitted along with the alpina suspension, i got the key but no numbers on it. just letters D M and the bmw logo on the other side. man, friday 13th has struck today!!!

looks liek ur gonna have to get the drill out!

5litre can of super unleaded Ԛ£5
a box of matches Ԛ£0.50

sorted

i want pics!
can you film it when your mullering your alloys?




there must be another way tho?

may be split the rubber from the rim, pour petrol in the tyre and then put a match to it. the boom will pop the tyre back on the rim fully inflated

emergency over managed to get the cover off without mullering my wheel so all is ok... just need to get a new set of covers!!!

well done bruvva
my cars sorted pretty much now too ;)

wat else did you do to it?

drove it HARD

prop, centre bearing, subframe and poly bushes

ooops
