Locked the keys to my 2005 bmw e60 525i in the trunk. i have no idea what to do. i cant open the door from the inside on this model. tried with airbag on door to get a gap but its a no go. tried using the inflatable airbags on the trunk but thats no chance either. im completely stuck. is there an emergency release i can reach from the outside or any other ideas? PLEASE HELP!!!

 

You don't have a trunk lever on the kick panel driver side. I thought they all had that. If you don't have a ski access in the rear seat you're probably out of luck. Maybe there's something in the manual

 

i do have the ski thing but i cant get into any part of the car not even the doors. as long as i can get into the car i can get into the trunk but there is no trunk release in my car. whole thing is locked

 

I had to call a locksmith when that happened to me. Two of them actually. The second guy ended up picking the trunk cylinder. The first guy wanted to drill a hole behind the license plate to grab the emergency release. I so did not want to do that.

Neither locksmith could get inside the cabin because once they unlocked the door, it would immediately lock itself back.

 

You can buy a locksmith tool in the US on Amazon for cheap. It has two air bags that you slide between the door and body. You pump them up and open door, I used passenger door, just enough to get a coat hanger in and release the door using the handle. One pull unlocks door.

 

You have to pry with the plastic tools while you pump the bag. I just did it on the passenger door of my 2007 530i. Open enough to get coat hanger in and around the door handle. One pull unlocks the door.

 

That does not work on all models. Did not work on mine. Two locksmiths tried and failed.

 

Well, I had to work on it and bend the coat hanger so to reach the door handle. You can bend the door back if you cause damage. Mine was lost, so I had to make a new fob after I got in. Mine is 4 door. You gotta want it.

 

With mine, the second they unlocked it, my car immediately locked itself. They were both surprised and said that doesn't usually happen.

They had used the bladder and then tugged on the door handle or pressed the unlock button on the dash. They tried for quite a long while, but my car just kept locking itself back.

 

Had this once on my LCI E61 530xD. The guy from the automobil club came and had a "special box" for BMW's. Opened it trough the doorcylinder within seconds! There is a way but You need someone that is knowlegeable with Bimmers.
