You can get new BMW hub nuts from BMW.

I'm guessing you've read all this already, being a current thread?
Thanks Marco! Yeah I've seen that, is there a knack to getting the driveshaft bolts undone or just use a decent length breaker bar?
Cheers
Did this last week, soaked the diff bolts in Plus Gas on a toothbrush the night before (both ends)and the 32mm spline end nut behind the wheel centre badge, I didn't remove the wheels to remove the shafts. Then gave them a tap with a pin hammer to break any seal. Didn't need a breaker bar, large ratchet sufficed. Just don't fit the new rings until the drive shaft ends are spotless. (Do the passenger side first, its much easier)
