    2007 BMW X3 door lock issue

    So I bought this about a year ago with the seller saying the fob no longer worked. During the past 10 months or so it was worked sporadically after I put the key on an apple watch charger between driving. The problem I am having now is when the fob doesnt lock / unlock the door I cannot get the key to go into the lock to manually open it. When I put it in the lock I can get the key in maybe an inch tops and then it feels like Im hitting a wall. If I really force it hard and wriggle the key back and forth I can eventually get it in but Im afraid the key is going to snap and its the only key I have. I tried lubing the lock and latch and that hasnt helped. Any insights here? I bought this to get me through last winter (have a 2016 Z4) and to give to my kid who gets his license in a couple weeks. Would hate for him to be someplace and be locked out or not be able to lock the car up.

    Thanks in advance.

    Also want to add that when hitting the lock button from inside the vehicle all 4 doors lock / unlock like they should. My only issue is with my key not being able to go inside the lock (now 75% of the time).
