Get into an old BMW with a dead batteryUse the key in the passenger side door lock - turn the key to the "unlock" position (should be counter-clockwise IIRC), while pulling up on the door handle - a bit of jiggling, and it will open. Then, the battery is in fact underneath the rear seat - a determined yank at the seat bottom will reveal the battery on the passenger side.

I found on my car that it was only the passenger door that responded to the emergency unlock position and it didn't give up the locked position easily (note: my car is right hand drive so it may be on drivers door in left hand drive cars)

In 735iL (and most likely other models as well) instead of going for the battery, it may be quicker to use the marked battery points in the engine bay to either jump start the car or recharge the battery.

Open the hood. There should be a black box-looking cover on the top-right-hand side if you're facing the car. That's where mine's at and I also have a '91 735i. It's more troublesome finding the battery. I've found it. Have you? lol
