Door lock actuator failure

[SlickGT1]

So is there no other way to get into the car? How can BMW do something so retarded? There has got to be a way to get in.

See if the rear hatch opens with the remote

try fixing the remote with a battery replacement for about $15. if that works you'll be able to roll the window down and get in the car.

Once the window is down since your issue is with a front door, this may help

Incidentally, I have an issue with my back door and cannot use the above fix due to the quarter window. Anyone have any suggestions?

slim jim wont work but there is another way thru the door jamb. just not sure if its appropriate to post here. its not like every car thief doesnt know it. they normally dont go for older bmws though cause of too many maintenance problems... just kidding

I swapped out the battery, and the remote is inoperative. Is there a special trick to roll down the window?
