Is there no overide button for the alarm??
I have heard of a number of ways of getting central locking to open up, if its the same as or similar to a 5 series, then there is one way of doing it.

if you have manged to unlock the door surely it would have lifted all the other locks and they can't be dead locked as you would never have been able to lift the lock you say you have.
under the car where the boot is there should be some rubber bungs or discs which should just push through and you might be able to get a hanger or something in there to get the keys

What I do is, take the money from my kids and give it the missus to put back into the piggy :mad: , just makes them think twice about doing it again.
