Q7 - you are 100% correct, I learned the double lock feature from the E34, that double locked on me, with the remote inside and the key outsed, and the remote was the only way to get it opened. I had an aftermarket alarm installed that was designed to double lock, roll the windows up and close the roof - and i told the mechanic who did the inspection, NOT TO LEAVE THE KEYS INSIDE THE CAR!!! so, the genious takes the REMOTE off the keychain, leaves the remote insode the car and takes the KEY outside, and then shuts the door... WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD A MECHANIC SEPARATE THE KEYS ON THE KEYCHAIN????

anyways, it seems that the furniture in the way to the rear hatch release and the fact that there is not spare charger are the main issues here - other than that, the car operates as designed...

I can only suggest to source a second charger, or just get a jump from a neighbor or a friend, just enough to get the rear hatch unlocked.
