Remove the rear seat.
BMW's have auto-locks a little different from other cars, if your battery is dead, the doors won't open. To change the battery, you need to open the trunk, this is where the battery is located. You will see a panel with some screws, you need to remove that and underneath is the battery.
There should be a catch directly behind it you can access from inside the trunk.
where is the battery situated on a 323i 1999 model BMW and hoe do i open the trunk if wont have power
You get a door jimmy and ope the door for the cabin of the car then you use the tab on the back seat to pull the seat open to get into the trunk compartment....or you could break a window to get in the cabin. you cant call onstar though because they cant open the locks when the battery is dead.
The battery is in the trunk on the right hand side. There is a removable cover behind the wheel well and the battery is down there.
