I put my 5-series off the road for the winter, with doors locked.

Inevitably, the battery has gone flat and there's no charge to allow the immobiliser to unlock the doors. I've tried the key, but I can't get it unlocked.

I desperately need to get into the car, preferably without damaging it. Can anyone help??

The car's a 1991, H-reg, E34, 535i sport. And will be for sale shortly, once I can get into it!

Steve.

P.S. There's a track day in it for anyone that can come up with a solution tonight!!

No luck yet - I've tried all suggestions so far, without success.

My car's about 4" from the ground, so I can't crawl under it! Besides, it's got two bonnet catches that need to operated simulatneously for the bonnet to open. Providing I can find where the cables are!

The doors are deadlocked and can't be opened without some sort of power. Looks like it's a brick through the small, rear door window...

I called the dealership this morning, they gave me some advice, and hey presto, I'm in! Shame they're not open at 9.00pm on a Sunday or the guy would have got a track day out of it!

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Steve.
