does this mean you must use different keys for opening and starting car?

that bottle is really priceless, it lifts the whole engine bay up so many levels! I would kill for an E30 one thats super white and clean

 

[Adi]

no the lock gets matched to the current key, both locks were smashed when car was stolen
