  1. I've just had a similar problem except I had both the barrel and the motor fail, ie, you could only lock the door from the inside. I had to replace the barrel and the motor - sounds like you just have to replace the barrel which (unless you want to use two keys or replace all the door locks and iginiton barrel) means getting the specific barrel for your key from BMW...$300+ for the barrel.

    Obviously you have central locking so bravo's suggestion replacing just the drivers barrel would be okay cause you could stick in an alarm that would activate the lock/unlock mechanism. Alarms can be more costly though, however, more user firendly and insurance discounts.

    I dont think i have that problem but its weird cos when i turn on my cars ignition all the doors lock and when i turn it off they open, is that like a safety thing or something? Its annoying cos when someone wants to get in the car after i have started it i have to reach over and open the dam door for them!


  2. Welcome!

    Nice wheels (it should last a lot longer than the previous cars... and give you more street presence amongst the sea of Jap cars in Akl). I love the coupe, both E30 and E36 - the Bimmer types in my price range! Caryard or private sale?

    Private, off trademe actually, i wasnt even looking for a BMW and then just suddenly decided i wanted one
