Wheel Locks

Was just looking at someone post and realized their car had wheel locks. I was going to pay dealer to put on for me when car came in. Is this Standard on the 540? May have just saved $50 to 100 dollars.

It's standard here in Norway. So is it an option in the US, or not available at all from factory?

Country dependent
USA doesnt seem to put them on standard.

The current BMW one is pretty good (Its the McGuard one with the spinning collar)

Here they are standard as you wont have your wheels long without them.

FYI, I just noticed today when I was at HRE Wheel HQ, they lift my G30 on one corner while the car is locked.
Right after the tire about 10mm off the ground, the car security system got triggered and the high pitch alarm went off.
