Only one unique tool imo! star sockets are pretty normal in the Uk called torx. The plug tool is unique to bmw though!

Mmm I've always used a spot of copper grease on wheel lugs. Got me worried now. Never have in plugs though my brother wished they had in his mondeo. One seized and it was a heck of a job eventually regular soakings with a penetrating oil over a month did it but it was heart in mouth time! A main dealer serviced it and didn't bother!? To change them so thyeyd done double time. Nearly no electrode left!
