yeah I just tried with my f30 and f25 and neither would let me lol the keys in the car unless I had another set of keys outside of the car to do it.

Ahh so getting a new fob from the dealer would be doable in this scenario. The dealer would be able to cut the physical key that would allow you to open the door. Good call!

That saved me a hassle since the car was still locked and my house was locked up. I vaguely remember my E90 did the same thing once and that car did NOT have Comfort Access while this F30 does.

I did this experiment because I keep my fob in my golf bag when on the course. If I put the bag close enough to the car after playing I'd be able to open the trunk without taking the fob out of the bag, toss the bag and fob into the trunk, then lock the bag and fob in the trunk and me out of the car. That taught me to always take the fob out of the bag and unlock the car before opening the trunk. If I only had one fob I'd get a dummy blank mechanical key to put in it and I'd keep the real mechanical key separate from it, just in case. |

Worth a shot. Call the BMW dealer service dept. Give them your VIN and anything else they need to prove the car is yours. They maybe able to unlock the car remotely though the My BMW app. Sounds like you'll be getting another key from them anyways.

Well ladies and gentlemen, I was able to use a wedge to pry open the just enough to fit a fishing rod with wire on the end, hooked the keys from the cup holder and dropped them on the passenger.. I then used the tip of the rod to unlock the doors with the fob. Saved $240 and not a scratch on the door. Thanks for all the suggestions, I will be ordering a 2nd key this weekend.
