nath 129 Report post Posted July 12, 2004 Ok, so someone has stolen my car keys straight from my flat ( pest control guy i think, altho it coulda been anyone because i was coma'd out after a nite out on the town.... ) being the only BMW in the carpark, i think it will be pretty damn obvious to him which one it is- so im after new locks and keys.... Anyone help?? new ones are 2- 3 weeks from Germany, and $517, unfitted. thanx y'all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

petone 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2004 I seen those locks on trademe as well. Does anyone know if they will fit? And whats so good about the solex locks? How are they different to normal locks? I heard that bimmers got quite good locks anyway, this true or are they nothing special? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard that bimmers got quite good locks anyway, this true or are they nothing special? as far as i know about solex locks are they are way better, i beleive the key is round with bumps around it i dont really know but im sure the key is round , so dat some f**k wit doesnt come around and jam a screw driver in there or wat ever they do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmccormack 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 Just remove one door tumbler & take it to a locksmith, they can make a new set of keys from that . If that fails I do have a set, but I can't get at them until Monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
