How to unlock the doors of BMW X5 when batter is dead

On a 2001, and because it is only on one side of the vehicle, and because it is the drivers side only, my guess is that the wire that goes from the driver's door to the door frame is damaged. The best course of action would be to take it to an auto electrician for diagnosis with their pro grade scan tool computer. There are some other theories in the link.

use the key in driver door. Turn all the way to the right. It is a little past the first soft stop(where the power locks will unlock. Keep turning a little further for manual unlock.

handles may be in good condition but the lever on the latch itself may have came loose. your mostlikley looking at dismantelling the apolsery with the door closed to rectify it.

most hatch doors have a release inside somewhere,maybe under the rear seat,,just a guess...hope this helps and good luck... call dealership and ask...they will know......

Try the starter terminals.

Hey i have a 2001 BMW X5 i disconeted the batterie cable and put it back and everything work fine except my key alarm can anybody help??

How did you get the driver's door unlocked. Your other doors should unlock by hitting your key fob button twice. Sounds like the door handle came disconnected or broken.

check your fuses

I just go locked out of my X5 BMW 2002 and my key will not unlock the driver's side door! When I press the OPEN button nothing happens... what do I do now?

My car has been sitting since May and i would start my BMW every once and awhile but the last time I started it was around July 11th and a week later my battery was died and now today I went to unlock my BMW x5 car door and it wont unlock. Do I need to charge my battery?
