1997 BMW 328is. The battery is dead and i cant get into the car cuz the door is locked and the locks are electical. I cant get in the trunk or under the hood to either jump it or change the battery...any tricks or secrets or ideas on what i should do?My car battery is dead and im locked out?
Call a lock-out serviceMy car battery is dead and im locked out?
no manual locks whatsoever?My car battery is dead and im locked out?
It should have some sort of manual lock or override. if you cant find it call a dealership.My car battery is dead and im locked out?
Next time buy American. At least you would be able to get into the car with an oldfashin thing we call a KEYMy car battery is dead and im locked out?
If you can get under the car locate the starter. the center terminal is usually the power wire. It should be a red wire. Put your jumper cables on right there if you can. Red on the starter Black on the frame. It should back charge the battery and your power locks will work.My car battery is dead and im locked out?
On most BMWs there is a process which only works on the passenger door.
As I remember, you turn the MASTER key to its limit, then lift the handle, then turn the key another 30 degrees.
There's another idea. Take a 2nd 12v car battery and jump the terminal on the back of the alternator. The black jumper cable goes on the frame, which is ground. The Red jumps to the hot wire in a light socket or the thick wire on the back of the alternator.
That should be enough charge to open the locks.
In the future, run a red wire from the battery through the fender wall liner. Cover the end with a wire nut.

Try using the key in the little hole in the door handle doofus. You probably shoudn`t even own a carMy car battery is dead and im locked out?
Yeah, I know this one. Although the door locks are completely electronic and cannot be opened when the battery is dead, the trunk SHOULD open with the key.
Once the trunk is open, pop the trunk light out (in the center, ceiling of the trunk). Keep the bulb in there, get a jump pack or jumper cables, connect the red to the metal at the base of the light bulb and connect the black to any grounded, unpainted metal. The hinges of the trunk usually work well.
If the battery is not COMPLETELY dead, you could also try putting your key in the door and turning FIFTY times. Do not push the button until you turn it all fifty times though because then the thing pops back down and you have to start all over.
Guaranteed the trunk thing works though.

Question about a car with wheel locks...?
I know someone who bought a 2001 integra with wheel locks on a custom set of rims and tires. The person who sold the car to them sold it to the girls who know nothing about cars without the keys to the wheel locks. Today they got a flat tire on the freeway and could not change the tire because they had no key... A chunk of the tire fell off so fix-a-flat wouldnt work, which we tried... So here is my small list of questions....
1.) how long can you leave a car on the freeway, to be exact, in california freeway 880
2.) Is the old owner liable for the expenses caused because they didnt give them the key, expenses like towing, wheel lock removal, around $150-200
they left the car there....lol they are teenagers and have no jobs, pretty broke...Question about a car with wheel locks...?
if you are real lucky you might make it 24 hours before they tow it but if the police officer think it is a danger to leave it there he could have it towed right a way... no don't thin the old owner will be liable for ant of it...most people put the key in the glove box but if it is not there see if they can contact the old owner he might have taken it out of the car when he cleaned it out and did not even think about it if he has it i am sure he would give it to them or if it is in the car some where he could tell them where it is ...Question about a car with wheel locks...?
you should look in the trunk for the key or in the glove box.

What would make the car make this sound?
My car randomly starting making this really loud mufler like sound.
The muffler is still attached, and there was no big noise or anything it just started happening.
It is a quite loud rumbling noise, sort of like the cars i hear that don't have mufflers. Also it is forceful enough to make my front seat vibrate. It gets much louder whenever i press the gas, however the car seems to be handling well...
No change in steering, power locks or windows and the radio ac/heater is still working.What would make the car make this sound?
i don't know the make model or year of the car... but it sound like the exhaust system came loose from the manifold either you can take to an muffler shop and have them repair it or you look underneath and find it and repair it yourself about a 5 on the difficult meter....What would make the car make this sound?
the manifold might not be attachedWhat would make the car make this sound?
Not sure what car you have but, on the side of the converter is a tube that runs back up to the engine. It is a stainless tube and when it gets old it will blow out just because of heet build up over the years.What would make the car make this sound?
A hole in your exhaust system.
Pipes
Catalytic Converter
Muffler
Hangers misaligning the pipes.
Take it to a muffler place that will give you a free estimate.
Then if it is something you can do toss him a couple of bucks as a tip and do it yourself.

What is the best anti theft device for a car?
My car was recently stolen when I drooped my key. Thankfully, the car was recovered; however my key is still out there somewhere. I am not yet able to get all of the locks and ignition changed yet and need to know what is the best thing to deter anyone with the key from taking the car again.What is the best anti theft device for a car?
a nice secure garage....but failing that either lojac (which is an onboard gps that notifies the authorities of the exact location of the vehicle when reported stolen). The only downside is its expensive but if you ever have a nice car you want to make sure its safe and protected. If you cant afford that I would say an expensive car alarm, a car club, and a detachable face (car stereo) would be your best bet.What is the best anti theft device for a car?

Just make sure you take your keys with you and keep them on you at all times. If you need to, put an alarm on your keyring that lets you know you dropped it.
