The cheapest solution is to get a lock-out key.
Have your license & proof of ownership (registration, bill of sale, or title -- originals, no copies) provided at your BMW dealer before 2:00PM on a business day and it should be there the next day. The lock-out key does nothing except unlock the door, which in turn will unlock your trunk with the release button inside. Lock-out keys are very inexpensive... much cheaper than breaking your window and spending time in the shop getting repaired.

I solved problem it took me 2 hours. I couldn't do almost nothing my car was in inside garage of the mall, maybe 100meters from exit. I called BMW assistance and they said that they will drag my car out cause towing can't get into 6" garage. I said before you do that you can order me new tires differential and transmission, cause the car was on first gear+handbrake. She was like we're not resposible for any damage and then she was like: "Sir we just trying to help" 
. For me it would be cheaper to break all windows including windshield than give a pleasure to towing guy to brake my drivetrain. Then I called taxi and we spent maybe 1hour to open it. First we tried to pull handle from inside with no luck, then we tried to pushed unlock button which is in the middle between ventilation.
No luck either, the doors won't open if you press button when car is armed on alarm. Then we tried to pull handle many times and it worked. Alarm was on and the unlock button didn't work until alarm was off then I unlocked trunk (I don't have folding seats and no skibag) and got my key back. I'm going to dealer tomoorow to order another one. Hope you guys will never have that situation make spare keys if you don't have one. Thanks for all of your help.
p.s. I forgot to say that I called locksmith and in our village montreal they said that they don't touch bmw

Another reason to get Comfort Access.
Just demonstrated (for the nth time) how I can put my key in the trunk, close it, and the trunk will pop open.
CA stops you from locking your keys in with 99.9% certainty.

If I had seen this earlier I could have told you how to open you back seat up to get to the trunk , but you would have needed tools , so scratch that Idea.

That reminds me of the time I locked myself out with the keys inside the car. It took me over an hour to get the family out.
