You should have a key in your toolkit to fit the locking wheel bolt. If you can't find it you'll need to take the car to a main dealer and they'll sort out a new key for you.
 
If you cannot find the locking wheel nut taking the car into a main dealer to source a replacement will likely be very expensive. If I were you I would take car into a tyre fitter and they will have kits to remove these nuts and you can then get a set from ebay. Its perfectly safe to drive the car without the locking nut as these are not intended to be done up as tight as the other four nuts.

The replacement keys from BMW are not that dear.You might find the key in the tool roll,it's only small.

I can't see that a key from a dealer will be more expensive than buying a set of 4 locking wheel bolts plus a key - that doesn't make sense!
 
Glad you found it and good to know they are so cheap.
You keep OEM bolts and don't let garage clowns risk damaging your rims charge you for the privilege and then have to buy new locking bolts = result
