Had the same problem with the sister in law's Ford Focus. First off the special socket was missing in action so had to buy a new one. Then I couldn't budge the lock nut even with a long extension pole so I took it too a tyre place who stuck a flag pole on the bar to move it. With my BMW I could remove the nuts but the wheel had welded itself to the hub. No amount of pulling and bashin' would budge it so I gave up and waited until the tyres were changed to replace the corroded BMW centre bosses.
BMW seats, after a few years my drivers seat keeps droping little piles of powdered foam on the carpet. The wife said my stuffings coming out or the favourite one you should loose some weight. I tell her I'm tall so I don't look at the floor as she does. She's 5' 2" or 3" when she hangs upside down every night🦹
Modern cars get you from A to B but I'm no fan.
