watch out if some 1 has a tennis ball in there hand next to a car.
I going to try it weekend on the car to see if it works.
But It looks like it works on old cars not new
they could have edit a better music in the clip.

That is one of those extremely old tricks.
This only works on very rare and very old cars.

Remember the trick how to open ANY car with a tennis ball?
It's the same, but you have to reach under the car and place the tennis ball over the crash sensor... This, however, only worked on very rare models for a very small time.


You can NOT open the E60 like that!


There is ONLY ONE way to open it, without doing damage, if you don't have the key. This takes about 30 minutes, if you are trained.

In the US there are TWO ways, one is to contact BMW Assist.

I haven't heard about a stolen E60 here.
But we had to open a couple ones where the keys were inside and the car was locked.

Iceman, how do you open them when the keys are inside? Just curious.

It's called the glass fragmentation technique i think. It involves transforming a solid side window into small crystals, thus enabling the mechanic to gain access to the vehicle via the newly created aperture.

I don't know. Iceman posted this above:

I would hope he could break the window in less than 30 minutes.
