Stick a key in either front door.  Apply gentle pressure as if you were 
unlocking then lift up slowly on the door handle.  You may have to work 
it a few times, but you will begin to feel it catch and the door will 
unlock.

Ed:

It appears the top is not folded correctly, and it is sticking out from
under the boot. That is preventing the boot from coming down all the way. I
would ask them to demonstrate the opening and closing a couple times, while
you watch. 

In case you aren't familiar with the sequence, from closed to open:

1. Front and rear disconnect from the car
2. Rear lifts up 
3. Boot lifts up
4. Rear goes down
5. Rest of top goes down inside well.
6. Boot Goes down and covers everything.

It looks like an E36. The early ones them came with manual tops, but I
believe all the newer ones came with automatic tops and ROPS. Looks like you
don't have ROPS on this. 

There may be a strap or something that helps make the top fold correctly,
perhaps that is broken.

There is a pull handle under the back seat that if you pull it, you
disconnect the automatic motors from the top. This is for emergency use (ask
me how I know). There is a procedure for resetting the motors. You basically
go in the trunk and push them back in place and cycle the top a couple times
until they are synchronized.

PS Still have the M3?

ROPS is the RollOver Protection System - the pop-up rollbars behind the
rear seat headrests.

Thanks.  I probably should have been able to figure that one out, considering I have 
it!  I'm not sure how effective it would really be though.  Seems like you're still 
going to smack your head on the pavement which would pretty much ruin your day, much 
more so than hitting the headliner of a hardtop.  Not that I really need any more 
incentive to keep the car shiny-side up.  When I bought the car I just accepted that 
there was an additional element of risk vs. a coupe.  According to NHTSA only about 3% 
of all crashes result in a rollover although, unsurprisingly, they account for a 
disproportionate (33%) percentage of fatalities.  Considering that the 3% figure 
includes vehicles much more prone to rollover such as SUVs, the real incremental risk 
is pretty small.  Realistically I'm probably at much greater risk from other drivers 
not seeing me.  I've found that with the top down when other drivers don't see the 
greenhouse they're looking for they assume you're not there.  Of course being aware of 
this goes a long way - defensive driving has saved my sheetmetal (at least) on more 
than a few occasions.

Brian,

I hope you never have to find out how effective the ROPS is :-). I have
spoken with a guy (and seen pictures of the car) who rolled his 325iC
with 3 passengers in it. The ROPS hoops popped out through the back
window, as the top was up, and all four people were basically unscathed.
They were wearing seat belts, of course.

Two for one.  Both have the same answer.

1. Passenger front door, insert key, turn key to unlock as you pull up on
handle.  When key stops turning, apply pressure and the door should
mechanically unlock.

It takes some force on the key, so, of course, there's always the risk of
breaking it.  Not my problem if you do.

2.  Open trunk, hook battery charger to trunk light wires and leave for an
hour or so.  That'll give you enough power to unlock the doors.

I have heard mixed reviews on the Goodyear F1.  That is interesting it comes in a 
235/35/17.  I thought 235/40/17 was a low profile.

The smaller diameter front tire is a bad idea, particularly with a 96+ M3 where you 
have to worry about the traction control along with the ABS and having dissimilar 
diameters front and rear.  I would not go with a 235/35/17 due to potential issues 
with traction control/ABS along with having too low a profile tire for street use.

Funny your worried about this as it is contradictory with going with the lower profile 
tires in the front.  The stock size gives you about a 3.7" sidewall where your 
recommendation gets down to 3.2"...this doesn't bode well to keep those rims straight 
(same reason I don't like 235/35/18 on the front).  No amount of tire pressure in the 
world will fully protect you when riding on rubber band tires.

I don't buy this at all.  The cone isn't restrictive.

This is one part I agree with, I highly doubt there are any issues with your rear 
springs if they are stock.

re: tires sizes
Rich,
The new Goodyear F1 size is 245/35x17, your posting stated 235x35.  Yes 
the sidewall is shorter and the F1 has a stiff thick rubber 
reinforcement on the sidewall.  Higher air pressures drastically reduce 
the chance of denting a front rim.  If I hit something severe enough 
that it dents my rim, then the little bit of sidewall wouln't have made 
a difference however you're right, it is an increased risk  Most tire 
sizes on new BMWs nowadays were considered high performance rubber band 
profiles just ten years ago.
     Please see the archives for the past ABS threads on different tire 
diameters.
The best way to test the threshold that BMW programs into the 
ASC/ABS/DSC traction control systems is that it must at a minimum not 
engage when a tire goes flat.  Try it!  Let the air out of one front 
tire. (I tested this with a worn out 235/40 front tire before going to 
get the 245/35s just to be sure.  Drive around the block.  If the ABS 
doesn't engage with a flat tire at 2 or three inches less effective 
diameter, this verifies there is enough system tolerance for a tire that 
is only one inch smaller.
     The restrictor cone and intake air baffle are known to hurt 
performance.  They are easy to reinstall if you don't like the effects 
of removing them.  There's a website which has been listed on this 
digest in the past (anyone still know the link?) that shows flow bench 
testing on various possible intake components.

This 'scam' has been around for a while. I put it in quotes because you have
to throw all intelligence out the window to actually get taken. Off the bat,
it sounds completely ridiculous, they are going to send you...someone they
don't know or have never met, an extra such and such dollars...usually
