    Replacement Key Won't Turn in Ignition

    Hi guys,

    Got my salvage Z4 in the driveway and received a BMW replacement key from the BMW Mini Parts Store, which has a lot of positive feedback on the forum. Key works great in the doors, but won't budge in the ignition. What are the chances it's a key problem versus something else?

    Have you tried moving the steering wheel while turning the key? Mine sometimes gets stuck and just that slight movement takes the pressure off the locking mechanism.
