First time poster. Bought 2000 E430 in 3/00 now 48k miles

I've read back a few hundred posts but don't see anyone resolving the "key won't turn in the ignition" syndrome. My car started doing it at 40k miles. So far I have put up with it but my wife hates to drive the car.
Any readers yank out the switch and do a post mortem? Maybe there is a rebuild / upgrade possible for the switch?

FYI
Brake switch 2k
My back windows fell in the doors 35k
MAF sensor 28k
My motor mounts are shot 40k
Chips in the paint
Broken fog light. Cats head did that one. 41k
