Locked out, batter dead

[gregy]

Its not too hard to jump the starter motor, I have done it twice. I can do it without jacking the car up. Easiest way I found is to use a battery charger and a long extension cable. Connect the positive to the starter and the negative to a good ground point on the car. Leave it for 1/2 hour or so and you can unlock your doors, leave it longer and you can just unlock and start your car.

The Op and others have said "my battery is dead and I can't get into the X5" so how would one get access to the battery underneath the car?....
