hmmmm shit, i remember on of the zoners had a way of picking the lock or sticking something down between the glass and door to pop the pin out. Even so i think someone must perhaps PM you the solution rather than telling everyone how to break into an e34.....

Hmm, again theres no reason why the doors wont open without the battery being fitted. And surely the car would of been unlocked when you took the battery out - how else would you get the bonnet open???

This post will get locked as its not E30 related - try posting in the 'Other BMW Chat' section.

i've done this!!!

if the locks are the same as mine, pull the drivers door handle while unlocking the drivers door, hey presto, unlocked!

the alternative is to open the boot (should open on the key) and connect 12V across the boot light bulb with the bulb removed. this should power the car with enough juice for the central locking, BUT NOTHING ELSE!
