Same here, except it happened when my wife was out shopping with her sister. This is a 2006 e90 325xi. Called me in a panic telling me that the doors won't unlock. So I had to walk her through over the phone on how to use the tiny ass key from the fob manually. Then her sister had to crawl through the driver side to the passenger side in the middle of a parking lot. How embarrassing for a BMW while people saw them doing this. I don't understand the point of making everything electronic with no mechanical fallback if the electronics fail so often in German cars. BMW even took away the mechanical trunk lock after what? 2008 models? Took the car to the dealer and said fuse blown, probably plugged something into the cigarette lighter sock incompletely or pulled incompletely. I was like.. say what? I didn't plug anything in there and neither did my wife.
