My buddy has a 2008 335i and the keyhole on his driver door is rusted out. He asked me to help him out with solutions or fixes because he hears me talk about the wonderful e60 network all the time sorry to ask about another model guys but I wanted to see just how far the e60 mind can go. any ideas?

PS, pics will follow tomorrow of my newly painted rotors and calipers

Why wouldn't this be covered under warranty?

+1

Unless your friend did body panel mods or alterations of the door to his 335i...

On a '08, no way.

To the dealer.
