Unlock Without the Remote:
1. Insert Key into the Driver's Door Lock: Locate the driver's side door lock and insert the metal key into the keyhole.
2. Rotate Key Counterclockwise: Turn the key counterclockwise until it stops. This should unlock the driver's side door.
Manually Unlock Other Doors (if needed):
If you need to access the other doors, you'll need to manually unlock them from the inside using the interior door handles.
1. Open Driver's Door: Pull the driver's door handle to open the door.
2. Pull Door Lock Lever: Inside the vehicle, locate the interior door lock lever on the driver's side.
3. Pull Lever Up: Lift the door lock lever to unlock the other doors simultaneously.
Now that all the doors are unlocked, you can enter your 2001 BMW 530i without using a functioning battery. However, since your battery is dead, the vehicle will not start. You'll need to jump-start the vehicle or replace the battery to resume normal operation.
