Signs of a Faulty BMW M3 Ignition Switch
Some common signs of a faulty BMW M3 ignition switch include:

- Problems with accessory operation: If you experience issues with operating accessories such as headlights, interior lights, power windows, or windshield wipers, it could indicate a faulty ignition switch.

- Key getting stuck: Difficulty in removing the key from the ignition or the key becoming stuck in the ON position even after turning off the engine can suggest a faulty ignition switch.
- Strange noises: You might hear abnormal clicking or buzzing sounds coming from the ignition switch area when attempting to start the car if there is a problem.
