Inquisitive 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2009 My friend has a 2000 740i and has locked his keys in the boot. I understand you can drill somewhere behind the number plate to get access to the boot. Anyone know more specifics of just where you drill and what you do after you have drilled a hole? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone know more specifics of just where you drill and what you do after you have drilled a hole? The car would have been delivered with 4 x keys: 2 x master 1 x valet 1 x emergency Does your friend know where the other keys are? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
