How to open a E46 with keys inside?

[stiaan]

Hi guys
Is there any way to open a E46 when both keys are inside and the car is locked?
One of my mom's 70 year old friends has (I don't know how she got that right) locked both her keys inside her car.
The nearest BMW dealer is 150km away, and the nearest locksmith 100km.
Its a 2004 318i.
I know there isn't a way lol, but maybe a fellow fanatic knows a trick, except for breaking a window lol
The old lady would be so glad if I can help her in any way.

One or two guys here might know how, but maybe ask for responses via PM only. You never know who may be browsing through these threads.

Damn that's a tough one. Poor lady. I really don't know how to help, but best wishes in getting it done :thumbs:
Just a thought... Does she not have the valet/service key locked away in her safe by any chance?

Is it possible to have the cars in the "main" compartment and then lock it...I don't think so....however, keys in the trunk, thats happened a few times already.

and if I remember correctly, a quick Youtube google will answer that question.

so which one is it...main compartment or the trunk ?

Call the dealer and find out which window is the cheapest...

Call the dealer and find out which window is the cheapest...

Just NOT the tiniest triangular window at the back, it's the most expensive :bangdesk:

Just bash out the windscreen....it is the easiest to find a replacement for and the easiest to replace (and it might also be the cheapest).

Jack the car up to remove the drivers side front wheel.

Remove the allen cap screws holding the brake caliper. Be careful not to damage the brake lines. Also remove the wheel speed sensor for the abs

Remove the brake disc but do not damage

From there remove all control arms stabilizers etc then remove the wheelhub. Take the wheel hub to a workshop to have the bearing pressed out.

Bearing steel is extremely strong.

Use the bearing to smash thru a window to make life easier.


Hope I cud help
