Help!! X5 keys locked in trunk in the middle of the bush in Australia

Hi guys,

I need urgent help.. I\'m in the bush in Australia and I have a 2005 X5 and I have managed to lock the keys in the trunk while all the doors are locked.

Does anyone know how to get into an x5 without the keys? I have seen a few posts with people saying its possible but don\'t want to post on the net but I am stuck please can someone help me?

BMW assist isn't available for this model in Australia as far as I know. I have called BMW Sydney they will not send someone out to my location which sucks.. I can't post the photo from my iPhone so I guess you'll just have to take my word for it which I suspect you won't. I've tried hooking a wire over the door handle inside the car but the car seems to be deadlocked. Can't get to the button inside to unlock the doors. One forum mentions a impact sensor under the car but I have no idea where it is so I have no choice but to break the rear window to reach in and get my keys which is a huge pain in the arse no shop will have an x5 window anywhere near me until I get back to the city and I have a 700km drive back to the city shit!!!!!!!!

Either way I believe the impact sensor takes a significant amount of force to active. I also believe it severs a connection to the engine so u wouldn't be able to drive away anyway

Thanks Gmoney appreciate the comment. Spoke to BMW assist and the only option BMW assist said was to have it towed nearest bmw dealer is 600kms so too expensive or break the window. Shame my mate managed to rip a door seal trying to get a coat hanger in the door to pull the handle which didn't work anyway!! Good to know its so hard to break into shame the spare key is over 700kms away. Expensive hunting trip..
