LOOK, Man, you are the best regarding BMW, I tell you, your videos are so perfectly presented that I just yell with EUREKA!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! another of my problems you knocked OFF!!

Excellent video!! I have a 2004 Z4 with a bad steering column and have a replacement steering column that did NOT come with a key... Do you know if the tumbler can be removed WITHOUT a key? I will be able to use the key and tumbler from my existing ignition if I can find a way to remove the tumbler from the replacement column... Haven't found a locksmith yet and wondering if its even possible? Thanks again for the great videos!!

Is there any way to get it off without the key? Or make the tumbler already in my car work with the key I got off another e46? I lost the keys to my e46 and went out and got one along with the tumbler for my car but didn’t know I’d need to original key to even take it out, it has an ews delete so I’m not worried about programming or nothing like that should start no problem as long as I can get the key to turn

HI, great video. how do I know if the tumbler will fit? its a 94 740i with a normal key + an electronic one with an alarm. thank you.

If my cylinder is stuck, should I do this?

Just the video I needed. Thank you, man!

What if key will not turn the cylinder. How does one remove it for repair??

What if I lost the key?

Is there a way that it can be install wrong?

After the tumbler is removed can I pull the key out or will this make the pins fall apart? Happened with the glove box tumbler, only way I was able to remove it safely was to apply a constant pressure on the pins as I pulled it out and basically taping it down to keep the pins from jumping out with the key not in, will this work the same here? Thanks

Can you tell me how to take out key tumbler from 1971 BMW 2002 …. Key stuck.

Hello, replacing the tumbler with a new one on an E46 and having a tough time getting the new tumbler into place! removal of the old tumbler was easy but getting the new one into place is puzzling me. Am i missing a step or is there a trick to it? I followed your instructions and everything lines up but just won't snap into place! Thanks in advance

This method works on E36 as well. Thanks for the video!

If i had my key i wouldn't need to remove my tumbler xD I'm trying to start my car with a screwdriver

Why doesn't my daughters 2006 bmw x5 steering wheel not lock when the key is removed out of the lock cylinder/tumbler? Is it a bad lock cylinder? I tried putting key in ignition, but it won't go in. I gently tapped on the aluminum key hole while moving the steering wheel back and forth and the steering wheel locked. Then i started her car and then turned it off, then removed the key, and I was back at square one again. Key would not go into key hole, like something blocking it. So i repeated the above and steering wheel locked again, which allowed the key into the key hole. What is the problem, anyone?

HELP PLEASE!!! HOW DO YOU REMOVE TUMBLE / CYLINDER WITHOUT THE KEY? MY PURSE WAS STOLEN WITH THE ONLY KEY AND I BOUGHT THE KIT WITH DME ECT..BUT HOW DO I GET THE OLD ONE OUT

Not actually how it works. You just need a very straight pin. When it's lined up it will go in. Do NOT put a bend at the end. Dead straight. When it lines up it will go right in.

You aren't removing the tumblers, you are removing the barrel.The "tunblers" are the plates inside - Also, to remove the lock, just put the key in position 1, slide in the pin and pull, takes all of 5 seconds.. Totally useless video.
