Yes but then if you leave your car unlocked(or have messed up central locking that will unlock the whole car by being gently bumped) any body could take your car with a flathead

I am sure the allure of the e28 alone keeps the car from being stolen lol

you don't need to get a new ignition. just get a new key from dealership.
now go to hardware store.
buy coping saw blades.
grind down one end to a sharp point like a wedge that's 1" long (like a knife)
do it to 2 of them.
now insert them into ignition on each side of key, twist each into the key for some grip by the saw blades.
then pull
really easy just need to make the tools
