Rusting locking wheel nut

How do you deal with this rusting locking wheel nut? It doesn't looks nice. Dealership said this happen to all BMW but my neighbour's BMW's don't rust like this...

Find a garage to remove them. I had to get the 4 of mine removed. Standard tool for most garages as it is so common

There should be a wheel lock key tool somewhere under the rear compartment cover. Buy your own OEM or compatible locking lug nuts to replace the rusted ones.

Did you manage to get some nuts with a anti-rust coating?
