I am locked out of my 1989 735i SE. The alarm went off and the battery went flat. I have the two original keys for the car and neither will open either front door?!
Either key would work in the lock when the battery was ok and the central locking worked fine.

Both keys open the boot. Any thoughts welcome - i really need to get into the car.

Thanks.

Try the emergency release position on the door lock. turn the key to the normal unlock position, then raise the handle, the key should then turn a little further & the lock pin will rise. try either or both front doors. check your Owners Handbook as not all e32's have this facility.

if your car does not do this you may have to unlock the boot lid. you can then power up the electrics by using the boot lamp terminals.

there is an identical post to yours in this section a while back. have alook at older posts to see how he did it.

or ask your local BMW service dept how they unlock dead cars.

please keep us posted & good luck
