Hiya just a tip of advice for anyone who takes their battery off their car and locks it up.
If after everything you've tried like turning the key and lifting the handle,then try this!
Jack the front of the car up,find the battery leads and contect soem jump leads to them,hey presto the car should then unlock,just check both the front doors to see which one is opened.
Hope this helps anyone who was as daft as me for locking my e34 up and then taking the cattery off and shutting the bonnet after.
Mike
glad you got it sorted !
