Back in the day (late '60s-maybe '80s?) with a BMW you could not push the door lock down(drivers' side) and lock the door. You had to lock the door with the key. Result: NO ONE (unless you were really talented) locked their keys in a BMW...

My 85 Saab 900S did the same thing you do have to be talented to lock keys in that way. I did it once. Had gotten out and locked the car. Went back to get something out. Opened the passenger door. Set my keys down on the seat. Locked the door and shut it. I was looking right at my keys. Boy, did I feel dumb.

In the E30, you can lock somebody in with the "double lock." That way, a criminal can't get in by breaking a window. You can lock the car w/ the driver's door, but only when the door is closed. It is disabled, otherwise, so you don't lock your keys in.

I'm pretty sure if the window is broken I could find a way into the car. The Duke boys never had a problem.

Don't laugh, a friend has a lemon of a e46 with all sorts of electrical gremlins. It occasionally locks him in that kind of fashion. He keeps trying the unlock button and it usually lets him out after a while.

That car would be on fire real soon if it were mine.
