BMWx5e53 is on a distinguished road
So if the battery is dead, and the handle carrier is broken, then how would one ever open the car?
Is there a way to hook up some pos and neg wires from a 12v source to a part of the car?
I.e. a number plate light, indicator light.

Just tried this and it worked:
Get a battery charger and set it to constant 12v.
Remove licence plate bulb cover, remove bulb, connect positive terminal of battery charger to left bulb terminal, negative to other side.
Now you can open the car using the keyfob as it supplies enough power to operate doors and windows.
