Key locked in car (G21)!
So today I had the misfortune of locking my key in the boot of my G21 M340i and having to call BMW Emergency Assist to come and pick the lock for me 😂. 90 minute wait in the rain - FUN
The car was locked, I opened the boot using the button on the key, chucked my bag in (which contained my key) and then closed the boot using the button on the boot lid. On other cars I've had with similar technology the boot wouldn't shut as it would sense the key is inside the vehicle, but not on my G21! I won't be making that mistake again...anyone else know of this issue? It seems a bit of a silly loophole that the manufacturer should address... |

I can see how it's easily done. I'm just preying i'll still have my phone with me to unlock via the app. Or hope that if key was in boot, then i could still open the rear doors when touching handle.
Last resort if I've locked phone in the car too is the BMW Connected app on my watch that talks to the app on the phone. That has unlock option, but not sure thats going to be around much longer when officially replaced by myBMW.

It's funny cause yesterday I almost managed to do the same. But when the boot closed the lights flashed and it opened immediately with a loud beep. |

Usually with the key in the boot the car should not lock, however if the key is not detected for whatever reason (probably because it was inside your bag) then...well enjoy the rain Same thing happened to me... (of course while raining) lesson learnt...now I never leave the keys in my bag
