"My battery was to low to open the doors but it had just a little bit left for the alarm. the solution for me was:
First the thing you need:
- a second car or battery
- starting cable (booster cable)
- an extra hand
Place the minus on the engine (crawl under the car). On the driver side is the alternator, take the rubber seeling of and place the plus on it. (same can be done with the starter)
Let the second person open the door"
I took that from bmwe34.net.

This is true. It worked on a m50 525i.

It is easier to catch a positive lamp wire ...
in the trunk lid, sure there is a post on that. Careful with reversing polarity.

If it cannot be fixed by the dremel or ducktape.. get out the sledge...
