We gripe about how expensive the ignition components are for our beloved Panteras, but I have a new perspective on the cost - they're cheap!

My BMW 328i had the ignition lock cylinder and housing wear out - a common problem on the E36 models - which means the key will not turn (I couldn't turn the car off). For some it locks in the off position and you can't start the car or unlock the steering wheel. The estimate from the 'stealer' is $1,000 to replace! Yikes! The best price I can find for the parts alone for the whole assembly is $400-$500.

Those obsolete DeTomaso ignition components don't look so expensive anymore.
