Locked keys in Trunk

E9TWO_PILOT · 05-22-2020, 04:23 PM

A friend of mine has locked his keys in a e90 with no comfort access. If he is able to break into the car how long does he have before the anti theft system takes over?

Correct me if I'm wrong but if the clown nose on the mirror isn't blinking he doesn't have an anti theft system at all.

If he does, the siren will turn on the moment anything enters the inside of the car (ultrasonic sensor)

I thought even without comfort access your fob made it so it couldn't be locked in the trunk..?

Any locksmith can cut him a key. It may not start the car, but he can get in.

Most BMW's don't come with and alarm.

If you don't have a spare key you win the Darwin award.

If you don't have folding seats it doesn't do you much good to break into
the cabin.(Well I guess you could use the electrical technique mentioned
in the first post (entry 14)

The early models use to have a manual keyhole for the trunk I think that stopped in
or after 09. It can be hidden under the ledge above the normal license plate position.

Don't all BMWs come with a spare key? Also most locksmiths can open a car lock (trunk lock).
