As you probably know, I had a bit of trouble the other week with a stereotypical Scouser who broke a window and damaged my passener door lock.
I rarely use the key anyway so was considering either delocking the handles, fitting a blanking plate, or replacing the system with new/'reclaimed' parts.
I've seen these on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330226147035 - but am not sure whether 1) they're compatible; 2) they're worth buying; 3) kosher (i.e. they get your address when you buy and they happen to have a spare key they can use on a e34 they know the address of).
RealOEM says the lock is used on a range of vehicles, but as I'm mechanically ignorant, I'd like the benefit of the 'group expertise' on this.
