Hi,
I've used the following:
McGard: junk (key breaks if some moron over torques the lug) Factory BMW: delicate (lock cyl jambs in lug if some moron doesn't know how

to use it)
BavAuto : good (plastic caps break when some moron tries to torque the

plastic)
Gorilla : great, sold by Discount Tire, they throw in a set for free with

a new set of rims and tires

Note: all the morons mentioned above have worked for BMW dealerships,

except the first one, that was me.
