Hello everyone. I am a new member here from Greece and my English is not very well.. I would like to ask about a problem I have with my bmw e30 m40 318i 4 doors. My car lock from the side of the passenger is not working. Some times unlock but usually not. I have changed them and all locks are new so I don't know what happens.. Could someone help me please?

If your problem is that the lock barrel will not operate with the key,then a 'lock repair kit' from your local dealer will be needed,here in the UK,these cost about £20 and you get a bag of parts that enables you to build up a new lock barrel to suit your key.
Is it warm in Greece?

Thank you for your answer. I have new barrel with new keys from the dealer and nevertheless is not working. I paid 200 euro for change the belly button lock. Ι will look for the central lock first as you said. We still have cold and rain ... We look forward to the summer! Have you ever come to Greece?
