    E61 LCI, Battery Flat, Can't Open

    Hi all, as above, 2007 E61 LCI, battery is completely dead and the car is locked.
    Car has been sitting up for a couple of weeks, so presume thats why it's died.

    Any ideas on how the car can be opened?

    Thanks

    Ah very good, see it's not my car, and E46s are as modern as i know. I didnt know these cars had a key hole in the door handle...learn something new evey day

    Will suggest that..after that, presume the bonnet in them is just a standard cable, doenst need power to open?

    Bonnet is cable and the boot can be opened using the key blade too.

    Jump her from the engine, not from the battery in the trunk!
