To add, I also planned to pull off my wheels and do a deep cleaning of the wheel barrels, but the lug studs were on stupid tight. I would have thought the BMW service center would have properly torqued the bolts, but it took a high hp impact gun to pull off the bolts. The unfortunate piece was the wheel lock; it was on there so tight that I ended up destroying it after the second wheel. I've ordered the new keys and a new set of standard bolts, as I hate dealing with wheel keys and this very issue. I'm not very concerned with someone trying to steal the wheels, as they'd have to put in a crap ton of effort to get these things off.
