Last night when I started my 87 535is 3/4 of the key broke off in the ignition. The car started ok though so I thought no big deal - I'll get a new ignition cylinder and key.

This morning I tried to spin the cylinder and it didn't work. Worse than that, the steering lock didn't disengage so I won't be able(at least according to Bentley's) to remove the wheel and ignition cylinder.

Any tips?

Man I don't want to have to tow it to the dealer.
thanks
steve
