A way to gain access into the car without a key?

Long story short. I managed to lock my only remote key fob in the boot and a replacement will take around 20 days (Car is in Beijing and they need to ship it from Germany) !!

I am wondering if there is a way to regain access into the car without breaking a window? I read somewhere of a BMW Security flaw where is possible to insert (any similar key) into the door key barrel, turn and hold, the Windows will roll down. I know this works on my own key but does this work with another key?

Willing to give this a try but last thing I want is to set off the alarm continuously.

My car is a E82 120i auto 2010

Thanks in advance!

Should have gotten Comfort Access - I believe the trunk won't lock with the key inside. (That probably wasn't very helpful, was it???)

Yep. They should be able to pop the locks for you. Make the call.

When the law tow's your vehicle, even for illegal parking (this is how I know..), they peal back your passenger window, stick a shimmy bar down your door panel till you hit the unlock release. I was amazed at how quick he did it. Ask a tow guy, they can break into ANY car, but tell them not to fuck up your window glass like they did to mine.

there is no way to get into your car unless you break your window.

Sadly BMW Assist is not available for my car (maybe not available in China at all)

So this morning I bite the bullet called BMW wanting to go the replacement route and wait 20+ days .... and they advised I needed some documentation (which was kepted in the car for legal reasons) sending me back to square 1 ... break a window.

As a last option, I used an approved locksmith and so glad I did too. It took around 6 minutes, no damage at all but pricey (around 130USD) I made a recoding which I will upload shortly and share with you all.

Reminds me of a grade school joke (which I've cleaned up, because it's no longer PC to tell jokes about people from a specific country of origin): Three idiots get out of their car. First one says, "Damn - I just locked the keys in the car. Now I'm gonna have to break the windsheild to get them." Second idiot says, "You moron - don't break the windshield - break the driver's window. It's cheaper to replace." Third idiot looks up, and says "Looks like rain. Maybe we should put the top up."

Is this mic on???

Not when your main concern is being "PC".
