Problem: ecm failure in an M5 after battery flat.......sorted it but customer didnt want to pay full price. Solution: drove the rag out of it past customers house for two days.....customer paid

Had a 14 focus with keyless system. Battery went flat and the key fob had emergency key missing. Customer had two locksmiths out and both failed to pick open. As the car had tinted windows the customer didn't want to break glass and refused to drill the lock. Called me out and I tried the usual methods including jump cable to the starter lead but fob was not unlocking, lock wouldn't pic due to previous lockies efforts....wafers were stuck. I bagged it and got a rod in and popped key holder cover on steering column. Fished in the fob into the slot and with another rod pushed the start button. Result was doors popped. Synced the key fob and sorted new emergency key and lock. Sometimes you gotta think outside the box.
