I disagree.
AFAIK every F87 M2 iteration came/comes stock with one BMW wheel lock on each wheel (well, at least the EURO-spec ones). Adding a non-BMW wheel lock per wheel helps preventing wheel theft by amateurs (who often have the BMW key set) + damage from leaving the car without wheels (rotors / body / paint). However, it will
not stop pros who are determined to get your wheels (if they want them, they'll get them).
Tip 1: 5 bolts per wheel: fit the wheel locks opposite to each other, rather than right next to each other.
Tip 2: wheel lock key storage: imagine where thieves would look first to find the key and outsmart them.
McGard wheel locks (rumor has it that they are a BMW supplier) - M14 x 1.25 is the right size for F87 M2:

- chrome head: 27226su: here.
Less than €55 + shipping = money well-spent on your first mod.
