Of course - but that only works if you still have a battery connected, completing a circuit. Even then, many people seem to find it doesn't work. I tried a tickle charger, a heavy charger, and then a jumper cable to the connector under the hood first. I also consulted 2 BMW service centers who confirmed that wouldn't work with a disconnected battery.
To be clear, this solution is if your battery is disconnected or other options aren't working. The assumption is anyone getting to this post have already tried the obvious options.
