Snapped key in wheel cap

Post by Vxrich » Tue Aug 14, 2018 12:43 pm

Ive managed to snap a key whilst putting the centre cap on my wheel on my D3 Biturbo. The cap is on the wheel. Any ideas how to get it off and key out please? Cheers

All sorted. Managed to get the cap off and push broken key out from the back. Cheers

Hi,
I realise this post thread is ancient but thought it might be of interest that my key also snapped in the lock. BMW quoted silly so began search and found a nice Aussie on eBay selling them for peanuts. Just stated my old key code and a week later new key arrived...happy days!
Gravy...mmmm
