dead battery and dead key.. cant get in trunk to jump car

[richmond3h]

I am new and have a big problem and can't find the answer anywhere. My 2001 325Ci has a dead battery and dead key. I cannot pop the trunk to jump the car. Any suggestions on how I can get in the trunk to where the battery is? Thanks

you jump bmws under the hood. there is a red box(or black box with some red on it) under the hood with a + on it. hook up the - to any metal part of the engine.

Welcome to the Werkz.....there is a positive jumping terminal in the engine compartment on the passenger side as illustrated in pic below.....hook positive jumper here & negative to any grounding point on vehicle....

that is good to know. I don't have a problem but good info. Why do bmw's have the battery in the trunk and the jumping terminal in the front?

balance for good handling

And the jumping terminal in the front?
