Not apples to apples, and strictly Fwiw, when our '01 went batt dead, way back
in '02, from the CD/Radio drain situ, I was able to use the key in the key hole
to manually open the door the driver door.
That was fortunate, as I need the door open to climb back, manually open the
rear hatch and dig out the tow hook for the clueless hillbilly flatbed driver.

It may be different now, on the newer E70s, and/or diesel cars...
