Another Er46er passing on their gratitude. You’re a star. Many thanks.

This is the best video for this subject because it starts at the beginning and show all the orientations. 👌

Thank you for showing the whole process, my lock was just spinning in there and not in proper position. Fixed it!

Excellent video with great detail! I ran into hours of problems because on the 2nd middle piece for the left side driver. The proper side left side for my car in the United States was not to spec in the center hole and so I didn't think it fit, and thought it was for the right side and so I went for hours trying to make the right side work and it would only lock into left or right, but not both. I forced the left side piece on to the center post and it worked perfectly! I finally did a visual check for the cutout on the broken piece and realized I was using the right side piece. Cheap manufacturering with low specs tricked me into thinking the left side was the right!

Before video.. was hell tryna figure out how 2 do this an not having a metal tip pen.. lost my original spring it flew 2 twice. Found it 3rd it gone!! After oh an broke a little off of the new spring .. after video 5 minutes very smooth easy lol Ty for great video.. I'm glad my spring is actually working hope it hold up lol..

You saved me, when I pulled out everything trying to fix locks. Now I changed only one part and everything working good. Thanks a lot! 😁

Thanks a lot!!!! Clean and easy to follow. Good explanation.

Muchas gracias por el video. A pesar de que no sé inglés pude repara la cerradura gracias a tu video

Seen other few videos of the lock assembly but this one is the most detailed and it as also helped me to fix my e46 lock. Thanks alot amazing video👍👍👍

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! This was literally the only video I found where the lock was put together the correct way. Following the other ones, I always ended up with a stuck key and so needed to break the entire lock again. Thank you again for your work!

Most useful and clear instructed video of all👍 i changed the lock as you demonstrated and worked 💯🙌

Really great! Now it works at my BMW... thank you!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Man, I was watching another guys video and he said it would take 5 mins, me 1 hr and a half later. He didn’t go into detail at all like you did, telling us what to align and easy to follow step by step tutorial. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thank You!!! And keep those videos coming.

Just wanted to say thank you. This helped me a lot.

thank you for showing how to do it step by step🙏

Excellent video. The pin with the replacement kit has no chance of fitting and mine apparently fell out, and I couldn't locate in bottom of door. Used a coat hanger where I slightly ground some material away with a bench grinder. Was able to fit snugly into the clip holder's pin hole. Be sure to clean the parts you're re-using and lube with grease.

You rock! This pen tip is very helpful. Thanks

Thanks for the awesome video. It took me a while but with trial and error I finally fixed my door lock. Can’t thank you enough!

Thats exactly what I was looking for. Tks a lot

I haven't bought the stuff for this, but my son's key came out with the part and we need to repair it. I need to order the parts and will follow along with this video.

Using this and another video on how to move the cylinder pins, I was able to to adjust a new aftermarket lock to my existing key. Thanks, dude!

Excellent video! Thank you so much

Thank you so much dude you helped me with this 👍👍👍

Thank you dude. I've did it a lot of times, but never used a pen. It's very usefull.

very good class, and easy, work with 2007 328xi too

ya habia visto 4 tutoriales pero solo este se ve bien cual de los 2 repuestos hay que poner, gracias

super video explicative merci ...

Thank you for this video my friend!

Muy bien explicado gracias 👍

Great detailed explanation. Am sure I got one of the many different things (key barrel, 3 rings, last of which is different for L/R-hand drive, stem) that needs to be the right way round wrong and managed to rotate the key to a position where I couldn't rotate it back to the original position to be able to extract it. Nightmare scenario with key and lock barrel permanently united and neither useable but happily managed to extract the key from the barrel by part-sawing through the U clip with a hacksaw from above and then breaking it off with pliers (the U horseshoe clip had rotated so the closed end was blocked from being pulled off the final stem by the main lock body). Lucky the repair kits (including horseshoe clip) are so cheap, around £3! :-) Btw did anyone have issues with their convertible soft top retracting and windows coming down randomly when turning the key in the broken barrel? That was my original nightmare with the car fully open to the elements and public, no easy way to close the top (roof close button flashing red) and rain on the way! Actually, thinking about it been a nice car to drive in the Summer but no end of dramas too :-D

Muito bom obrigado 😀👏🏻

very good video bro. this helps a lot.

Bro. I love you.

thanks xD i had right hand drive so is usefull too :D

Thank you it perfect described

Pen... genius!!! My pliers kept slipping

thank you!

Thanks, you saved me by explaining the 2 brackets are for left and right hand drive xD

Veryyyyyy gooooooood

good video, very helpful

Very nice 😊👍👍

Rock solid!! Thanks!!!

Recently encountered the same problem with key cylinder…but my problem now is how to open the car? Any advice? Many thanks

Excellent video! Any idea is the internal parts are the same on E60?

Good video. Is left hand and right hand have different parts?

How did you get the notches from the key cylinder to line up with the 2nd part you add for the tumbler?

For me? Close, but no cigar.....You have the best video on KZfaq for this. I have a RHD model and am following your instructions to the letter with the exception that the second housing used is for RHD. Once put together, the key only turns quarter way in one direction only (to lock the car, but cant open it). Any ideas?

Thank you dude the Trick With the pencil was fcking Good

What if my little key assembling isnt at sme position(straight) but one is like out ?

Good vid, question is where and who did you purchased the repair kit?

🖤👍

Thx

Did you need a key to remove the cylinder out? Or can you remove the complete cylinder with no key? Mine seems to keep spinning and doesn’t want to come out I need to retrieve the cuts from the cylinder to make a key.

Managed to reassemble and fit into the door. Only problem is that the key is locking the door, not unlocking it! Help!!!

Wehre can i get the tool, If you know can pleas send me the home page, thanks

U made me even more pissed off

no need to put lubricating grease?

Спасибо.
