Without a key, how do you open the BMW glove box?
Your automobile key may not work to access the glove box because of the plastic handle.
If the plastic connection between the handle and the linkage that opens and closes the latch has been destroyed, the handle will move but do nothing.
Fortunately, glove box locks are not particularly strong, so you can see parts of the metal linkage beneath the latch if you simply pull open on the handle. It is quite possible to move the linkage and open the lock by inserting a thin flathead screwdriver or another comparable tool.
You can open the glove box by pushing the tool beneath the latch, moving it, and prying on the door.

On a BMW, where is the unlock button?
Simply pressing the unlock button on the key fob’s top will unlock your BMW. Within the settings menu of the automobile, you may select whether to unlock all the doors or simply the driver’s door. The alarm system will also be engaged and all the doors, the boot, and the fuel cap will lock when you press the BMW roundel in the key fob’s center. When the lock button is pressed and held down, some models will also fold in the wing mirrors, close the sunroof, and any open windows. Press the boot lid button on the key fob’s bottom to open the boot lid while standing outside the vehicle. For BMWs with automated tailgates, holding it down will unlock the lock and open the boot. There is no need to be concerned if, in the odd case, neither supplied key fob is functional. The integrated key can unlock and lock both the glove box and the vehicle.
