Unless you can fish the keys through the small bulb hole you wont get very far by breaking the lamp

You need a snap on entry kit. Small air bag in the door jam and inflate. Then huck on he door handle. They are great.

brick, window, autoglass £60 and if they have it in stock they can fix it tomorrow
a key with out the ews can be had in a few hours from the dealers. its only the chip that has to come from germany i think

if you do go for a key you will need your logbook and other forms of id with your adress on

numberplate off, holesaw through the boot, when youre done weld a plate on the inside and seal and paint it. it'll never show as long as you keep a numberplate on

get one of the snap on lock out kits and pump up the drivers side section of the boot to gain access to the wires that run into the boot... one of these is the wire for the solenoid for the boot... put a 12v charge to it and it should pop the boot 
What have I become, my sweetest friend...

the boots aren't on a solenoid, you have to push the lock button in like on an e30.

Doors are not pillarless and the EWS keys all have the chip as part of the key, not a separate item.

I have sorted this.. New key ordered from BMW, came ready cut today, luckily the locks are original.
£35 for a new key, but all windows intact, and seems evident I needed a spare anyway

It's a good angle that mate. Thanks for sharing. I didn't realise you had a private collection of me. What do you use them for?
