Valet Switch

[Pooters]

My brother in law is a retard.
Now that I've got that out of the way, I need to know where the valet switch is on a 2005 BMW 330CI ZHP. I was getting crap out of the back of my trunk and I shut the trunk with my keys in the back and apparently my seats don't fold down. Now I can't get into my car -_-. Anyone have any idea? I googled the subject but found nothing. He told me to look in the glove box but I couldn't find it, I even looked in the fuse panel box. I've got partying to be done
Thanks!

Your seats should fold down. I believe all coupes had fold down. However, I believe the release is in the trunk!

Yea, I can't find a handle anywhere in the back seat to let them down. Maybe I should rethink putting a blower in my car if my brother in law doesn't even know where a valet switch is in a 3series... even though he has been working on them for 7 years now :P

Wait- you have access to inside the car but can't get the trunk open? Why don't you press the trunk pop button? I must be missing something. I think all the "valet switch" is on the E46 is if you turn the trunk lock horizontal with the key.

You're probably correct. The keys are in the truck and I can't get the tunk open. The turck open button underneath the dash does nothing. My brother in law said it was because the Valet Switch was kicked.

You don't have an extra key? I can see the dilemma. I think he owes you a new car.

The former owner was a woman, so no, I don't have any spare keys :P

Damn. So the push button for trunk open doesn't work when valet switch is kicked?

That's what my owners manual says too.
