locking fuel cap Rebuild?

[arshad76]

I'd go and buy one from BMW, except I already did and it didn't work! Has anyone actually taking out an old barrel and replaced it with a new one? I'll be extremely impressed and grateful if someone has any tips on this. I've taken it to two locksmiths and no joy yet

Hey no rush bud, my car won't fall apart without it Just be nice to have it working again I guess. Look forward to some pics/info though

well....bmw lives up to its name once again. I drilled the pins out and I think I should be able to get it out now but I dont have the original key and my lock picking isnt as good as it used to be. Ill have to say sorry mate..I cant get into it either.

Hey no worries at all. It's a shame you didn't have a key to yours, mine kinda does. I'll see if I get a workaround and will post it up here if I do. Thanks again
