Nice purchase! I looked at a few Maserati Gransports at ADG and after some research found that their service reputation amongst the Maserati community isn't the best. I hope you fare better.

Under the Alpina badge in the wheel centre (push and swivel to open) is a key lock. Unlock and removing the centre gives you access to the tyre valve and wheel nuts.

I don't think locking wheel nuts come as standard however it's worth fitting them.

So yes - you need to ensure you have the keys for the wheel centres to check if locking wheel nuts are fitted.

Many thanks, very useful info.
Yes they had some nice cars there, but not the greatest automotive purchase experience of my life.
ScottHall Hampshire is my local BMW dealer, and they have proved very helpful in the past, so will be using them for servicing.

I love this car. Quiet, comfortable, decent growl despite being a 4 pot. Thanks all for advice
