Hi just bought my first BMW ever and even better it's a Z4 s drive 28 . :D
Don't know much about forums but here i am :rofl:

My first question is where is the tool kit located as i can't find the locking nut for the wheels .
Was told its in the boot under the floor panel but all i can find is the battery . :x

Hi and welcome to the forum OP!

As you can see from the 2 posts before mine we do rather like a photo or 2 on here. :lol:

As mr wilks said, the key for the locking wheel bolts should be under the boot floor. If not I would try each and every cubby - glove box, door pockets, storage compartment, etc. I did all that and finally looked at my wheels only to discover it no longer had locking bolts! :headbang:

So maybe check your bolts first!

Locking wheel nut should be a black pouch under the floor of the boot.
My wife lost two wheel bolts that were not tightened up after a change of wheels to winter tyres. A new set cost was c£50.

Hi and Welcome!

If it's not in the boot then try the ash tray or centre console, no doubt you already have, but that's where I used to keep mine!
