Genuine BMW Z3 Ignition Switch

The BMW Z3 Ignition Switch provides battery power to various electrical components in the car when the ignition key is turned. These components include the engine, the BMW Z3 components, and the steering column. Some of the earlier Z3s had a column-mounted Ignition Switch. Attached to this was a keyed lock cylinder that the driver had to insert a proper metal key into before rotating the switch to ACC, ON, or START. This action energized the starter, fuel injection, and component circuits. Furthermore, when set to LOCK, this action would secure the wheel. This illustration of the Ignition Switch enables the driver to power the radio or windows in ACC without running the engine. As years went by, BMW kept the mechanical interface but added a theft deterrent to the key. A coded transponder chip was embedded so that only if the Ignition Switch allows the engine to start after the onboard computer confirms the chip signal would the car start. Thus, an immobilizer was added, but the way a driver interacts with the car was not changed. In contrast to the modern push-button systems seen on other lines, every BMW Z3 is still reliant on this keyed system, so faults will not be from complex electronics but from worn tumblers or internal contacts inside the Ignition Switch. This is what causes hard-turning keys, intermittent stalls, or total no-starts, which directly results in a new switch-and-lock assembly. Rest assured, your BMW Z3 will crank every day!
