I locked my 325ic with a key tonight and when it turned to the lock position, it then went one step further to the far right. Now it is locked in that position and my key can't unlock it. Someone told me it's an automatic deadbolt lock and I tried lifting the door handle as I turned the key but to no avail. Does anybody know how to unlock it? I called one dealership and they said it doesn't have a deadbolt system. The other said it did and to lift up on the handle. Another said to somehow open the hood and disconnect the battery. Another said to kick the front bumper simulating an accident and all locks would open. Does anybody know if this has a deadbolt that I can override or is it just broken? Thanks for any help Robert C ( snipped-for-privacy@mcg.net)
