Happened to me once, and I was 780km from my spare keys. Had to call the insurance to send someone out to come open the car for me.

I did it to a rental car while in the UK. Car was in a pub parking lot in Manchester, all spare keys kept at Heathrow and rental company was going to charge us 1000 pounds if we broke in with a locksmith. Took 2 days before the spare arrived...

Glad you got sorted quickly.
Locking/losing keys is the most stressful thing that could happen...
I remember, last year sometime, i used my wifes Mini Cooper to work and as everyday, i left the key on the right corner of my office desk. At lunch time, the key was not in that spot or anywhere to be seen. Car was parked off for a week while insurance completed the claim and then sent to mechanic for another week to change lock sets and ignition. (We didnt have a spare). R11 000 later (R1000 excess for me) we had the car back with a pair of keys. Now, the keys get locked in my draw at the office.
But, nothing beats the "i locked my keys in the car" story from Firi@TheFanatics...

Happend to me once, locked the key in the boot,then the boot just popped open on its own.
i have the keyless entry, not sure if the bumper sensor worked (miracle cos it hardly works) , or if the car sensed the key was locked in the boot and opened.
Unless it was God.

Is It possible the boot lock/unlock can be programmed to unlock/lock the doors as well?I

My wife did this with my e90.
She worked at the Radisson in Sandton and realized she locked the keys in the boot.
Luckily BMW Sandton are down stairs and she asked then to help.
Two techs were sent up, they opened the boot by getting access to a harness at the rear of the boot by lift up the boot at the rear or something, and then popped the boot open
