I posted this over in the BMW forum but it didn't look very active (a lot of unanswered posts) so I thought you guys might have some good ideas* for me.

*Right now good ideas don't include large caliber firearms or microwaving anything, but we may have to resort to that as snow tires were involved in this whole mess.



Here is my post from the BMW forum:

My buddy has an '88(?) 325e and his trunk won't open. It was semi operable until a tire tech used a screw driver on the lock to open it (he had snow tires put on and the tech was putting old wheels/tires in there).

Yesterday my friend was trying everything to get the trunk to work when he broke the key off inside the cylinder. Now what? What is the best way to gain access to fix the lock button assembly?

Thanks!
