What to Do When the BMW X5 Key is Locked Inside the Car?
2 Answers
If the BMW X5 key is locked inside the car, you can find a thin wire and bend it into a hook shape, then insert it between the glass and the rubber seal of the driver's side window to reach inside the car. For automatic transmission vehicles, there is usually a button or handle on the inner side of the door panel; pushing or pulling it can open the door. The BMW X5 is a mid-to-large luxury SUV under the BMW brand, with dimensions of 4930mm in length, 2004mm in width, and 1776mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2975mm. The BMW X5 is equipped with either a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine or a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. Both engines feature direct fuel injection technology and use aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I'm the type who often leaves keys in the car. Last time when driving my BMW X5 to the supermarket, I locked myself out and was sweating with anxiety. Later I learned that the BMW mobile app (My BMW) can remotely unlock the car, provided you've previously linked your vehicle. If you haven't linked it, quickly check if there's a mechanical keyhole in the trunk – some X5 models have a small cover hidden under the trunk emblem that can be pried open to use the spare key for trunk access. Don't forcibly pull the door handle, it's useless. If all else fails, you'll have to call for assistance – dealership unlocking is expensive but fast, and for roadside locksmiths, make sure to find a licensed one and remember to bring your vehicle license to prove ownership.
