BMW Z4 Ignition Switch
The BMW Z4 Ignition Switch provides drivers with fast, reliable control of engine start and auxiliary power. In earlier generations of the Z4, the column-mounted Ignition Switch worked with a metal key and lock cylinder. The key had unique cuts and a coded chip. This allowed the switch to send battery current to the starter, ignition, fuel injection, or components when turned to the START, ON, ACC, or LOCK position. The steering wheel in LOCK position was locked by this mechanical type, a requirement since 1970 for theft deterrent. Nevertheless, wear could jam the key, break contacts, or cut power on rough roads. The recent Z4 models have a keyless push button Ignition Switch. This clever device talks to a fob and the car's computer, verifies the transponder code, checks that the shifter is in park and the brake is pressed, and then energizes the starter. The neat thing is this all happens without involving any moving parts, and you'd never misplace your key anymore. Whichever model of BMW Z4 you drive, keeping the Ignition Switch in an optimum condition preserves your confidence at every bend. This is because the Ignition Switch in each version channels current through set positions. Furthermore, it also prevents theft and sustains the signature BMW driving experience.

BMW Z4 Ignition Switch Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q:How to replace the Ignition Switch on BMW Z4?Posted by Lacee L.A:Replacing the lock assembly entails having to take apart the Steering Column, which is something that requires certain specific tools and, as far as it is advisable at least, should be done either by a BMW dealer or an appropriately equipped and skilled technician. To remove the lock cylinder, access the car's power supply point and switch off the battery and then with the help of key, insert it into the lock to unlock the steering and then proceed to the next step of unlocking the lock cylinder. Turn the retaining screw a little counterclockwise and take it together with the plastic rivet as the sides of the upper shroud are pressed. Remove the lower shroud by pushing in the center pins of the two plastic expanding rivets. Remove the terminal and gently take off the transponder ring around the ignition switch with two screws of a screwdriver. If equipped with interlock cable, press this retaining clip for releasing the interlock cable from the ignition switch. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the accessory position, thereafter, insert a drill bit or any appropriate pin into the hole at the center of the cylinder and press on the lock cylinder detent, and finally push the cylinder out. Installation involves aligning the lock cylinder and when it is placed in the housing it has a clicking sound. The ignition switch block can be removed by pulling out the battery negative terminal, followed by the removal of the retaining screw, pushing on the sides of the upper shroud to release it and lifting it off. Leverage on the centre pins and pull out the plastic rivets in order to detach the lower shroud. Pull out the switch electrical connector and then, using two hex screws, detract the switch block from the lock assembly. Removal is the reverse of installation, before installing the switch screws, one has to ensure that they are varnished to remain fixed in that position then re-connect the battery to test the switch before fixing the steering column shrouds.Answered by BMW Parts Specialist Chaz / Oct 28, 2024
