    Locking system Help

    I bought my e30 and it only came with one key that works to turn on the ignition. That same key doesn't work for locking or unlocking the car. Can I get a key made for the outside locks? My car is always unlocked because I have no way of locking it. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

      My suggestion is first, go to the dealer an get a key cut from your VIN, not a copy.

      I've seen this fix the issues several times, and only cost like $20 last time I did it.

      Otherwise, it is cylinder rebuild time, IMO a major PITA.

      Best of luck

          I took apart the cylinder and its in great shape. Not that difficult to take apart. Thanks I'll talk to the dealer

              sounds like someone replaced the ignition tumbler and did not match the door and trunk locks. If you get a key cut to the VIN it should be right for the doors and trunk, it might even work in all of them if you are lucky.
