Question
Hi Josh,
Some time back the key started sticking jiggling it around seemed to do the trick.The problem has gotten worse and now unable to turn the key, so cannot unlock the steering, although I have managed to start the car with a screw driver. I have also tried air / lubricant / vibration / force to get the key to turn but no luck as yet. Sure it something with the ignition barrel. Wandering if you could tell me how you go about removing the ignition barrel from a 1992 BMW 316iM.

Thanks for any advice you may be able to offer.

Regards

Kevin

Answer
Kevin, I have no experience under the dash of an E36.  Check some links around like www.pelicanparts.com.  use google to do a search for "e36 ignition cylinder replacement"
That should yeild some good results.
 
 Sorry I couldn't help with this.
