    all BMW's have deadbolt locks and there is no magic fuse
    under the car. the trunk lock cylinder should be able to
    "manually" override; that is, you put in the key, turn it
    far left and push in the lock button. if this does not work, a good BMW specialty shop will have to remove your rear license plate and drill a hole to trip the lock rod.
    the place to drill is critical; you do not want a goober
    doing this job.
