Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and the owner of a modded 316i (want better but insurance says no!)

Anyway, the other day I had to use my car for work and had to cram a load of tools and bits into my boot. Now I can't unlock my car from any of the doors at all! It is as if they are jammed somehow, the key won't even turn in the lock and I can't get into the car and all my tools.

Has anyone else ever experineced this? Is there a solution other than smashing a window? Any help or advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers guys
