Sorry, I had no idea it was that easy. At this point we also need to be careful who we give the information to, but we'll never really know.

If someone could pm me please asap lock smith has tried everything

Should make it so that if this is your first post, you shouldn't be able to receive this info. I would like to see someone with at least 100 postings before revealing this info to them.

I have been a long time member ask me anything lol i joined when it was x5world lol

Just look at all my post ive tried to contribute as much as i can over the years

Pull back door, and try the coat hanger to the central lock button.

I got in! But had to have a drill handy!

What did you do?

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?????

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. :o

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. :(
