Until it rains and water goes into the cuts under the roundel and makes his trunk floor rust out like mine... If he cuts the trunk lid at all its gotta be replaced.

I wasn't serious. Lol.

I already posted a solution: remove the power window switch, jump power and ground to the harness to wind up the window, and remove the door lock tumbler.

Or, tap into the harness and trigger the solenoids to unlock.

your best bet is going to be rolling the window up somehow.

Pop off the roundel and hole saw through the trunk, open trunk, and stick the roundel back on. No one will ever know.

Cut hole in trunk lid and buy a new one and paint it to match lol it's the only way... Jk don't listen to me.

I'm assuming he double locked the car hence not being able to open the door.

Probably fell off you loop if u sat on it, checked around?

Roll a window back up? Pop a switch out and use some leads to power the motor. Should only take a few minutes with a wiring diagram and a few feet of wire.
Once a window is up, pop out the lock tumbler.

(You could also trigger the lock solenoids by tapping into a harness somewhere, but the window is probable easier and quicker to figure out on the diagram.)

dammit. i'll leave then

No cabriolet I've ever seen has a ski pass.

[mitchlikesbikes]

you might not have to do any cutting to get into the trunk. if your car has a block off plate for a ski pass it is just tack welded in. you can sparta kick or hammer it out to gain access to your trunk.

you can kind of see the hole i'm talking about in this picture. i had to remove mine to unlock the trunk from the inside. i'm not sure if convertibles have the pre stamped block off plate though

Take your ignition out and tear it apart to get the broken key out and then take it to a key make have them make you a shitty key then open the trunk grab your shit and go to bmw and get a real key. That is if your key is broke in the ignition.

Have any friends with e30s? Try their keys.

Pop the door cards off and take the glass out? Cant remember if they go too low to access the hardware.

The glass blocks it off. I can't get to the hardware:(

Have both pieces of the key? Good locksmith can make a new one still.

I only have the handle part. The piece that broke off, broke off while it was around a belt loop on my jeans. The damn thing broke off somewhere and I didn't even notice until the next day.

I don't think ill cut a hole in the back seat lol hopefully a locksmith can help me me out with the trunk lock!
