98 Z3 2.8, Car was broken into now the ignition cylinder is stuck in the orientation pictured. In the photo I drew the starting position of the key (Blue) and the turning point of the key (red). Attempted to get the cylinder out with a pin and with the actual cylinder removal tool. No luck what so ever. Any recommendations on what I can do to get this thing out and to get my Z out on the road again?
