Hi

The barrel in my drivers door handle has broken. The key just spins
I have seen lots of spares to repair the broken part but fir the e46 only.
I have taken the barrel out and a metal part has snapped.
Does anyone know of a repair kit for the f25 barrel. This is a very common
Fault on the e46.
Or fo i have to buy a complete new barrel and key?

Right, barrel parts are commonly available for the e46 but not other models. However, just contact a couple BMW dealer parts departments, they should be able to sell you a replacement. They are real easy to install and shouldn't cost much.
