Got an early-model E90 that’s acting a bit "old and cranky"? If your key is spinning in the door lock like a ceiling fan on high, you don’t need a miracle—you just need this 78mm repair kit. It’s the perfect fix for those 3-series models built before the 2008 facelift.

The "Early Bird" Special

BMW changed the rod length mid-way through the E90 production run. This kit features the 78mm pole, designed specifically for the older setups. It's built from high-strength zinc alloy, so it’s tougher than a Tuesday-night steak at the local RSL.

What’s in the Box?

• 1 x 78mm Tappet / Eccentric Pole (The "Long Boy")
• Return Spring, Gaskets, and U-Clips
• Everything you need to stop your door lock from doing "the spin of death."

Vehicle Fitment:

Specifically for the "Old" 3 Series E90 models built before 2008:

• E90: 320i, 323i, 325i, 330i, 335i (Sedan/Saloon)

Heads up: Make sure you measure your old pole or check your build date. If it’s a pre-2008 model, this 78mm version is usually the culprit. Replacing it yourself is a piece of cake and saves you enough coin for a decent meat pie and a bottle of sauce.

Note: Suitable for front door locks. Save your original keys and save your sanity!
