After two days and many hours of wasted time I finally called a repair guy, maybe this method works for you but it did nothing for me except raise my blood pressure.
I have done this on two BMW. Z3. The first was fairly easy. The 2nd it was a bear to get new tumblr to snap in. Hours! Eventually got it.
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!!
If i had my key i wouldn't need to remove my tumbler xD
I'm trying to start my car with a screwdriver
What if you don't have the key how do you remove it from the steering lock
Thank you brother for this video
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
This method works on E36 as well. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for sharing
What if key will not turn the cylinder. How does one remove it for repair??
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?
Can you tell me how to take out key tumbler from 1971 BMW 2002 …. Key stuck.
How do you remove/ replace it on a 2004 bmw 530i if you can not turn key at all? Mine , the steering wheel is lock and key does not turn at all.

If my cylinder is stuck, should I do this?
Also what about the housing will I need that also
I’m having a terrible time doing this on an E53
be sure key is turned to second position, place bobby pin at an angle and when you feel resistance from pin, the you are on the right track.
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.
How do I get my stuck key out of the ignition? I can turn the car on and off but I can't get the key to come out as it doesn't go right back to the entry position
OMG THANK YOU!
It's not this easy.. this guy has everything loose chances are yours has 30 years of grime on it and this isn't an e30 it's out some other shit anyways
Is there a way that it can be install wrong?
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
Insert the key to the new tumbler and as you insert tumbler, turn the key
I guess Im quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to watch new movies online ?
@Holden Kamden i watch on flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Elon Kamden definitely, I've been using flixzone for since april myself =)
@Elon Kamden Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it!!
If I don't have any working key how do I pull it out?
Thank you for watching our video. The only way would be to drill it out. Please feel to share our channel with anyone that could benefit from it.
How did you remove that whole thing??👀👀😂
Would this also work for a 525i? Cause I tried and I just cannot get it 😂
sorry for late response. did you figure the issue out?
My key is stuck in the second position. Had to pull the fuel pump fuse and disconnect the battery. The key/tumbler does not do the 360 spin. Any advice? Thank you
sorry for late response. were you able to figure out the issue?
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
How did this work for you?
Do you have to reprogram no key and tumbler?
Hi I have a 530d 2004 and my key won't turn and steering lock stuck on what could that be
You might have a faulty steering column assembly.
bimmermerchant hi yeah thought that I had a bmw specialist come out to me today and he said it's the barrel it need drilling out would you have any clue on how I drill it out to put a new 1 in ???
If I can't turn the key how do I get to position 2 to insert the pin😏
Why did you end up doing? That's my problem and my key won't turn at all...
WHAT IF I DONT GAVE THE KEY
Hmm this worked on my E53 but now I have to turn the keep all the way forward then back and then it’ll start when I turn it the 2nd time. 🤔
Will this technique work for a 1990 e30 325i convertible? Many thanks!
Does anyone has try to remove the key tumbler on 05 bmw645ci? Or one similar to it? Please help!! Thanks!!!
The pin is not staying in place
Muy bien cuando la llave gira y encuentras el hueco para el alambre,y cuando no gira la llave como lo haces??
Can you teach me how to do this
on a 1984... 733i Bimmer ??

Pop opp
Will this fix the stuck tumbler in my Moms E39? If i replace it? The key goes in and out but wont turn
Try to press the key very firmly into the barrel and then spin it fast towards the ignition position to" jump the tumbler over" the stuck first position. My e39 starts like that. But if you don't do that then the tumbler is just stuck In first position. Or you can try to just turn it by force , that will work too but I don't recommend it since it can brake the key in the tumbler. Hope that helps.Cheers
Hi guys, I have a BMW 523i 39 1998 and starting of with my problem is first the key spin a fe time than one day I just can not turn the car off so I disconnected the battery. I called a locksmith and he came spend two hours on it and told me that for me to fix it he want to charge me 2100 dollars.
I live in Australia and when I called BMW they told me to buy the housing is 306 and key barrel is 365 I am a little confused can you give me some advise onthis issue please
Hello, that is a common issue on e39 models. Best recommendation is buying s steering column, similar to the one shown in our video, and having a reputable shop install it. You can then remove the tumbler from damaged steering column and install into replacement. That should solve your problem. Hope that helps.
Good video, I have a question. When I try to start my car the key does not turn forward and my steering wheel is not locked do you know what could be causing this?
The locking tumbler, mine is like that aswell and im starting the car with a screwdriver and the key in the tumbler rn
How do I remove a ignition with no key???
You would need to drill out tumbler out
bimmermerchant do you have a video for that???
sorry we dont
My 318i is Not com in outt 1997
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.
Thank you for sharing
can you do this without the key?
You need the original key to remove tumbler otherwise you need to drill the tumbler out

How do i drill out the tumbler?
If you're replacing an ignition switch due to a lost key, how do you remove the ignition without a key?
Great question, you would need to drill out tumbler. Not a fun process but doable.
bimmermerchant how would you drill out the tumbler from a 2001 BMW 325i I bought a new steering column but have no key
They are still hurry

Drill it out.
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
You need to drill out old tumbler
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.
