My bmw 316i model 1997 has problem releasing the
order a new ignition barrel from your local BMW agent before your lock packs up all together and you will have an even bigger problem, to remove your barrell turn your key to the first position then insert a 1.2mm rod or drill down the little hole in the edge of the chrome key slot to push down the detent that hold the barrell in, pulll out old barrell with the key then fit new one.

My bmw 318 steering wheel is locked
common problem and will probably nessesitate replacing ignition switch barrel and steering lock, you will have to remove upper and lower steering covers and lower steering column to lowest position to allow you access to the two shear bolts which hold the steering lock assembly to the steering column, your local bmw agent shoul be able to get you the parts to allow you to use your own keys.

Please could yu tell me where the transmission
What's a transmission inspection plate, and what are you inspecting.
Ok, I'll guess you want to know how to check the transmission fluid? How do I know this.....because I can mind read. I also know this because there's no dipstick of any kind to check the fluid level. So, what else is there you want to check on the transmission. color?--it's silver.

Need the black plastic piece that the door panel
Most auto parts stores have a display section in the store that includes all sorts of clips and fasteners. Visit them until you find the part you need. If they do not have it them more than likely you will have to get it from BMW.
