About to remove the wheels on my Z3 and realise I've misplaced the locking wheel nut tool. Nuts. About to turn the house upside down, but if I have to, can I get a replacement from BMW?

Nuts! Locking Wheel Nuts....
You almost certainly will be able to get a replacement from a dealer, BUT they may want you to prove ownership of the vehicle. I'd phone them first to make sure they can help, but if you take the car, your V5 and some id along to your local dealer and ask at the parts/service desk you should get somewhere. They may not have one in stock, but if you are lucky they may have a set of their own, which will let you remove the locking nuts.

wheel nuts
if it`s been to the dealer, it`s maybe in a bag in the work shop ! lol
ok, was all set to down the BMW dealer this morning to try and buy a replacement wheelnut key. While eating my toast, I thought I'll just have a quick look on Ebay to see if they are available and get an idea of cost.
What do I see - a wheelnut key covered in splines, just like the odd tool I saw yesterday in the toolkit. I'd thought it was for something completely different as it didn't look like any of the wheelnut keys I've used previously. So problem solved, no new key required, and I feel a right chump.
Thanks all..
