Ignition Cylinder Trouble
Hello everyone,
So I just picked up a 1987 325e off a friend of mine a few days ago. It needs some love, so I'm trying to bring it back to life.
One of the issues is the ignition cylinder. He broke his only key off in it one night and drilled out the cylinder. Normally I'd be able to remove it, but since it's drilled out I can't move any of the tumblers to pull it out
Should I just grab a larger drill bit and drill what's left of the cylinder?
I was thinking of purchasing an extractor but I'm not sure it'll do anything since the cylinder is locked in place.
Any suggestions? I'd like to replace this thing so not just anybody can start my car.
