My wife presented me with the problem of the boot locking barrel jammed in the locked position. Puffed some graphite lock powder stuff and tried using the key to pull it back out without breaking the key, but to no avail. (Before this the boot was the only way to central lock and unlock the car.) Tried thumping the barrel with a piece of firewood with the axe head, then tried key again and "Hey, Presto,Click." Now she thinks I have the technical "nowse" to fix the central locking! I am throwing out the BMW tool-kit and replacing it with an "axe-kit. Now I need to know where do I aim the axe blade to fix the central locking problem?

Yeah, picked up a 324d engine a couple of months for steel crank to use in a 2.7 screamer. The 525e crank doesn't want to go past 6000rpm.another budget consideration is to use a 323i camshaft over the std 325i, forgotten exactly think nearly 260- degree as opposed to ?250-degree 325i, acheap mod if you already have an engine to pluck conrods from pluck the camshaft too. Andrew Everett's (An Editor TBMW) BMW e30-3 Series Restoration BiBle is a great resource for all budding e30 owners and has a bit to say about 2.7 upgrades.
