NEED HELP BAD!!!!!!!!!

[thasco]

Hey everyone your help and expertise would be gratefully appreciated here.
I am locked out of my BMW X5 3.0i. The battery in my key is dead and the driver's door is the only door that you can use your key on. Any way's that too is broken. When i turn the key nothing happens so like i said i am locked out. Even AAA couldn't get in there.

THANX IN ADVANCE,
Henry

First, take a metal coat hanger and make a J.

Next, all you have to do is put the coat hanger in between the window and the door and try to get it to latch on a hook. Then, pull up on it so that it pulls the window lock up, which should hopefully unlock it. Then you can open the door handle by pulling on it. The area you are targeting is just above the door latch.

Your alarm will most likely go off if your battery is good and if your alarm if armed.

It will take you some time to find the right location, but it shouldn't be too bad. Just work the area carefully with a coat hanger and pull up carefully. You will know when you get the right area because it will only take about 2 inches of up pull to move the lock.

BMW's have double locking, so I doubt the coathanger trick is going to work. This isn't the best time to ask, but why wouldn't you have fixed the door handle and/or lock before this happened...I can't stand people that don't take care of their cars, moving on. Hopefully someone will chime in on how to jumper some connections to make the alarm deactivate, it can be done.

First off, dont panic there is indeed away to enter your X. It has been done before, just wait for someone who can PM you with assistance i guess.

Fully agree, i can never understand people sometimes...

charge your key on a portable house phone charger for a few hours and then go pick up your vehicle.

How about the graphite Key that fits in your wallet.
It's needs no battery. I used it yesterday.

OOps I just noticed you tried the key and the door
is broken which has nothing to do with weather the
key is charged or not. Sorry.....

I converted my 98 740iL's key to a newer style diamond key, like we have in the X. I throw it on my toothbrush charger once a month for the heck of it...never had an issue and the range is much better since the upgrade.

That's assuming he has spares, and that one in particular. When I got my X it only came w/ one key, so I demanded they order me a new key. I had to program it myself, so I made sure that only my two keys are in the EWS system.

Assume the best, prepare for the worst........
He said his door is broken so a key is useless right?
