Did not want to continue this thread on Bimmer Nuts Emergency post since it is a bit off his tangent/direction.......

I was sifting through the archives earlier to get some details on your push button start. I am having a real problem locating the steering lock cam,


and would be all for ditching it all together. Others have sent me photos of their steering lock mechanism, however mine seems different. I believe yours is a 95 525i as well. If you still have your cam, I would be happy to compensate you for it.

Did you remove the steering lock? I would be very interested in learning how you did this conversion with the EWS, wiring, etc.

Push button start is how I start my other vehicle (see signature photo below).
