Alpina wheel centre cap key?

[SM AUTOS]

I need to order a Alpina wheel centre cap key, just bought some wheels and there is no key with them!

There is a key number stamped on the lock barrels, can I just order a new key from BMW?

Anyone else managed to get hold of one?

I think you can, just need the number but will take a couple of weeks

Thanks Rav

A couple of weeks? It's only a key, let me guess it has to come from Germany?

Wonder if I can get one cut at a key cutters?

i just got one copied from the local key-cutter in my high street steve. correction: two, in fact, £3 for one or £5 for two, although, obviously, you need a key to copy in the first place!

Rang BMW stealers today, they have "emailed Germany" I can almost feel my pants being pulled down

adit, I wish I had a key to copy, I know some lock places can supply a key to match a barrel, but thought I would try the dealers first.

Have just heard back from the dealers, some of the early keys aren't available anymore, and guess what, mine is one of them!
A new lock set is £100, readily available from the uk....it's almost like they have planned it

This caught me out when I purchased mine, with the strength of the Euro the price is even more ridiculous now.
