Hi.
Someone has replaced the original ignition barrel on my '89 E30, which results in me needing two keys to use the car.
Is it possible to reinstate the original ignition barrel key pattern by means of a kit, or indeed any way and is it still possible to have original style keys made with the in-built torch and could you give me the cost.

Thanks. :)

it is possible, for the ignition barrel I would need the chassis number to order
£31.51.

It is possible to get the original keys made, but due to security reasons you would need to go to
your local BMW Dealer with documentation

Regards

Paul
