Your E46 doesn't have a small "skis" access port between the booth and rear seat arm rest, does it? If you got a small kid who can fit through it ... On a more sane suggestion: I'm guessing that you have only one keyhole (other than the boot) on the driver's side door right? Have you been using this key often or most of the time you've been using the remote function only? Try taking a long narrow metal prod or scraper and reach into the keyhole and try and scrape free any dirt or dead bugs that may have stuffed up the hole that would prevent the key from going in fully. A vacuum cleaner would help too.Then ensure that the key is pushed all the way in before trying to turn it. Every time you're unable to turn the key, pull it out slightly (0.5-1 mm) and try turning the key again. It may be possible that your key is only slightly different than your worn out keyhole and you'll need to keep trying a few times till hopefully it finally can unlock.</blockquote>
