M3 won't turn off!!

[LazyM]

I'm having a serious problem with my 97 M3. It wouldn't turn off and the key could slide out. I took out the fuel pump fuse to shut it off but now the ignition is stuck in the ON position and will not turn, any ideas??

New ignition possibly. If also would be easyer to just disconnect the battery cable therefor your 100$ sure nothigns running.

Thanks Antiburn. I already took out the cable and ordered a new ignition but that will take 10 business days because they have to get it from Germany. Any idea where else I could the ignition from? And what other parts do I need? I don't know anything about ignitions so I'm having a dealer do it and it's taking too long!

Im not 100% sure that its the ignition, It could possibly be but you never know. You might want to take it to a dealer to get it looked at. Just tell them you dont want them to put anything new in, you just want to know whats wrong with it.
