X5only is on a distinguished road
Key locked in trunk - car was locked and opened only the trunk with the trunk button on the key, accidentally dropped the key in the trunk, closed the trunk and, lo and behold, locked out . Called a professional locksmith and within 5 minutes he unlocked the door. Pure magic. How? He slid in a special little air wedge from the side of the door 3/4ths to the top, slowly inflated it and the door gap slowly expanded. He got enough gap to slide in a stiff wire with a hook at the tip and pulled at the interior door handle, meanwhile the alarm screamed like hell. Wow, didn't realize metal body can flex that much. No signs the door was opened this way. Windows and door functions as before. No gaps left. Very clever but set me back $250. It was an emergency since I was out of town. I believe this locksmith could open any locked car with that trick!
