Pull the handle and open the door, pick up the key, close door?

If that doesn't work, get ready to remove the windscreen, which is the only way into an E30 without physically breaking something.

The doors part open but the lock thing doesnt pull up, none of them do. Iv got a rust hole in the rear footwell... Think il just mutilate the carpet and ram my arm up. Il get some pics up if i can get them to work haha.

I liked the Topgear vid. Makes you wonder about the worn ignition!
