I am completely locked out of my car and I have the keys in my hand! Yes, that's right, my keys are in my hands and I can't get in. The unlock button does nothing, I insert the key to unlock and nothing! WTF! BMW road side assistant is on it's way. Good thing I am at home.

This is probablly associated with my alarm glitch/electrical problems. I am beginning to hate this car.

Did you try your spare key?

^^ I don't think that will work either, you're better off just taking to the dealer

Wow I thought the metal key was a mechanical lock to unlock the door... guess not.

Whoa Rudy, that heavy reading material! I am an engineer might use it to put me to sleep tonight. Three hours later and still waiting for BMW roadside assistance. They just called and told me it would be another 90 min.

I find my experience with BMW funny. I am trying really hard to keep a good attitude about everything.

Texas is a big place, I am sorry for what you're experiencing, but I am glad you are at home waiting.

At least you're locked out of a BMW. Better than being locked out of a Ford.

Whoo Hooo!!!! It can't get any better than this:
The tow truck guy came and he didn't even want to touch the car. I didn't think he would but I had to try. The reason being the car is parked inside my garage and I'm backed in. I don't know what to tell ya but for some reason I am giggle. You just have to laugh at my luck.

That's weird. At least you are locked out and are not stuck inside the car.
