Locked keys in car with no spare!
What can i do. I have a 1995 525i. And the key is in the radio. How can i unlock the doors, or can i

I've broken into my 525iT using a coat hanger- the old fashioned way! Just pull the driver's door window frame out a bit and hook the bent coat hanger over the lock knob. Be careful not to rip the door seal or scratch the paint- it's tricky but can be done.
Where are you in NC BTW?? I'm near Raleigh.

Don't understand that key is in radio?????
Did you double lock the car or just lock? If double locked then you even cannot open from inside by pulling somehow the pin and then pull the door unlock. That will not work.
@Bret: the hanger trick does not work when car is double locked. At least not on an E32

Yeah, we'll have to hear it from Calico, but I *think* the key in the radio means that they are in the cassette slot or something. Also, to double lock the doors, I think you have to have the key in the lock, right??
So, that's hopefully NOT the case.

i think it's double locked b/c when i lift up the lock, it doesn't open the door.

is there a reason i cant lock my doors from the inside, and that my car doesnt automatically lock when starting to drive, or is the fact that its a 89 the reason...
