keys. However, in the event that you find yourself
locked out, a simple telephone call to Roadside
Assistance will help you get back on the road. A
representative will help you to arrange towing
service to the nearest BMW center.
Related towing costs will be compensated up to
$100 per incident. You – or the person driving your
vehicle – are responsible for any expenses related
to replacement keys.

Interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
I read another post from someone in the same situation as you. One person was successful with a locksmith, but said that the locksmith used a door wedge and a really long coat hanger to pull the interior door handle. Sounds like that would be a little painful for the X. I think you did the right thing waiting. I know you are probably kicking yourself for this, but why was the spare key in the X? Chances are it will never help you there. Even if you are far away from home you can have it shipped to you overnight at worst.
