help, my 2 year old daughter has manged to lock the keys in our e53 x5. we dont have a spare so i am desperate. All the locksmiths I have called say they cant do it and a new window is going to cost about $500 aud. The closed bmw dealer is 700 km in Brisbane and replacement keys are apparantly on back order and could take weeks. I have tried the "secret " lever behind the number plate but its so secret its not there. I have Pm Ucrewx5 but he has not replied. can anybody else help?????

I have the same problem with my X5 - locked out (remote not working and key/manual lock not working). Can you please send me a PM as well?

Well...it looks like either a brick to the window ($500)...or a "wait-out" for ordering a new key (which you should have done originally which would have totally prevented this frustrating situation....and yes...I'm kicking you while you're down..but only as a kick-in-the-butt to others that are in the same situation as you and are procrastinating a spare key purchase)

I really empathize with you...but living without a spare key is not worth the frustration you (and many before you) have to go through when your only key accidentally gets locked inside the vehicle. There are multiple key types...so the more expensive remote key doesn't have to be your spare key of choice...there is the much less expensive plastic spare key that could be sitting/waiting patiently in a drawer...awaiting to be used in a situation just as you find yourself.

Good luck with whichever decision you have to decide.

Key #3 & #5 in the diagram below are what's available for the e53. The set (#16) costs about the same amount of money a new window will cost you (approx $440). And key #3 cost approx $44 (USD)...which is way cheaper than replacing a window.

Blaming a 2 year old for the problem? Man up and say that you screwed up by locking the keys in the truck. What was your two year old doing with the keys to the trucK? Taking her baby brother to day care?
