I got an 04' X5 3.0 about a year ago and it only came with one key (the FOB battery is dead or its damaged). I've been manually locking/unlocking without any issue but to my horror, this morning it turns freely, left and right. After searching around, it appears to be a common problem so I've ordered the cylinder repair kit off amazon but now I need to get into the car. I've read the posts about cutting/drilling out the cylinder, the door pry method and the mention of secret rear tab trick. I've PM'd a few people who have had the same issue on here so hopefully they can provide some insight but no response yet. I am mechanically inclined and already replaced the lower rear door latch electric actuator motor, as that was already non-functional but wasn't aware of the frail material used on the locking cylinder. Any help would be very much appreciated!
