1M Key Hole discolouration
Hello all,
Looking at a 1M for sale and it looked in great condition with the exception of the key hole (no, not a joke). Has anyone else had discolouration? Looks like corrosion at first glance which flagged some concern. Not sure if common or if others have had. Cheers, John |

Looks more like old grease or some kind of lock lube then rust to me. Mine gets a similar build up but more blackish in color. This was on my e46 m3 and my 135i. I never added anything to it so I think it’s a factory lube or something. Maybe the 1m has been driven less and the brown is just less dirty grease?
