    if I recall, the key code may be stamped on the side of the lock cylinder... remove the trunk lock and check.

    I will, thank you for this info. The trunk lock is at the moment at a very different locskmith service, where the customer tried to resolve his problem a year ago, but they were unable to do so. They claim that they still have it, can't find it at the moment but they claim it is not lost, just hidden in some box after moving to another building. I will wait if/when they find it. I know that on E30 the code was stamped on the door lock, but the easiest way now is to wait for the trunk lock. The main problem is, even if I disassemble the trunk lock, there only are 8 wafers out of 12. As I have a database of all the made keys, this could help to narrow down the number of keys which would need to be cut. I also will try to decode the glovebox lock as this one should have the wafers which are missing in the ignition lock.
