Opening a BMW Glove Box Without a Key
If you need to access the glove box in your BMW but don’t have the key, there are a few ways to open it without damaging the vehicle. Depending on the model of your BMW, you may be able to open the glove box with a flathead screwdriver or by pressing a release button.
Using a Flathead Screwdriver
If your BMW has an older model glove box, you may be able to open it with a flathead screwdriver. To do this, insert the tip of the screwdriver into the small hole located near the lock on the glove box. Gently push and twist the screwdriver until you feel it catch on something inside. This should release the latch and allow you to open the glove box.
Pressing a Release Button
Some newer models of BMWs have a release button located near the glove box lock. To open it, press down on this button and pull gently on the handle of the glove box. This should release the latch and allow you to open it without using a key.
