I just searched the manual for my M235i (her manual is in her car at the body shop, but I assume it works the same way). It says the unlock process requires the starter to be able to turn over the motor. That was not the case, so it wouldn't have helped.

It seems like if the battery cutout that tturedraider mentioned activates, one would never be able to get the car out of park. If I understand things correctly, this is a pretty serious safety issue.
