- This clip shows how to remove the barrel from ignition lock where the key is available. The barrel can then be used in another ignition lock or overhauled. In my instance the ignition locking mechanism was faulty and the steering lock had engaged and the ignition was not turning. The bar inside the lock had failed and snapped. I had to replace the locking mechanism and I wanted to keep the same key. If you need a new key dealerships will need to order from Germany and takes 2 weeks.

Hi,
I would like to thank you for this helpful video!
I spent an hour and a half in the junk yard trying to take one out! What I read online was of no help.
Thanks again
Lifesaver, thanks. Took me ages to get the right piece of wire, ended up taking spring out of a clothes peg, perfect size and barrel popped out first time. Cheers.
great video 2 hours of my experimentation solved with 2 minutes of your video!
I saw this video 2 years ago and didn`t have balls to take it out. And now I saw'it again and I did it. Thanks a lot
I help me. My problem is bigger than just removing the cylinder thank you.
I learn a lot from this video.
I use a staple from a Bostitch nail gun, about 1" 1/2 long; i bend about a 1/4 of and inch and it work perfect.
thanks for the video, worked perfect for my E36. I was having a bit of trouble until i sharpened the end of the allen key i was using, then it worked.
I was helping a friend.
It took me a couple of minutes to take the ignition off and it did not fix my problem so I put it back on and he call a locksmith. It took him more than an hour to remove the ignition.
He probably did not know how to take it off or he just wanted to give us a our moneys worth.
It took five hours to finally remove the everything and a couple of weeks to get the car back.
Hmm I didn’t know about those arrows. I did this on my e53 and having trouble. I’ll check to see if it has those as well. Thanks for the upload!!
So its like the GM Style with the external pin hole just without the bezel that sandwiches into the housing.
thanks man, that is very similar to my 94 325is, seeing this before i try makes me think it a lot easier, i wont have to fidget for an hour before i figure it out.
I BOUGHT A TUMBLER FROM DEALER HERE IN ATLANTA. I SWITCHED IT OUT AND NOW THE KEY WANT TURN AT ALL in my 1998 bmw 528i. WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW. CAR IT STILL IN START MODE. I HAVE TO TAKE FUEL PUMP FUSE OUT TO STOP IT FROM RUNNING? ANY SUGGESTIONS?
I have to start my car with a screw driver as the ignition barrel has broken,problem is my steering lock keeps coming on as i try to pull off. If i were to replace the ignition barrel do you think it would correct this?
THANK YOU !!!!!!
This vid aplies to E36 aswell :)
What tool can i use to insert into the hole to remove lock. Will a paper clip work, (but how would I turn the paper clip) perhaps if I bend the paperclip...Any ideas as I need to get my lock out today if possible.......Thanks....Philip
Hi, try using a video editor and not a phone camera next time. Your knowledge is good thanks for the help. Try not to make me seasick though next time :)
@CH1CK3Ncentauri Hey, I have a key for my BMW 525i and it doesn't work for the doors or trunk at all. It goes in the key hole all the way but doesn't turn. Also the whole ignition cylinder is missing, so I will have to go down to Pick N pull to get another whole ignition assembly. What did you have to do?
many thanks- saves me alot of time as well!
I got a e34 does the key have a chip or no
Very Usefull! Thanks!!
how did you remove the housing? i got the barrel out but mine is broken inside so i guess i have to replace the whole assembly right?
this was great help thank you!!!
Lenore you, O God Khawaja
@hear1me1now id like to know as well. did you replace it? problem solve?
Dang, the Bentley manual and all the online forums just say "push" or "push hard," not a one mentioned that you have to turn it. I just broke off an allen key inside the hole trying to "just push," wish I would've seen this video sooner. :(
John Oechsner did you manage to fix it? Same happened to me
will this work on all years..? i have a 1992 -525I
that helps thanks!
thx a lot!!!
Omg this is the biggest piece of crap that I work on and I removed 1000 of these
unfortunately the video is way to shaky and I can not see anything... You should have put the camera on a stand or something. Very bad quality
