Im not absolutly sure, but of the 2 German cars Ive owned with electric central locking (93 corrado SLC & 85 735) both locks worked fine with no battery & just key input....you loose the central locking of course. Did you simply try using the key?

I havent encountered this particular problem on my e23 when locking/unlocking with no power but i have heard it is a problem on the later models. I have heard that the key works but it must be turned very very very very hard, almost to the point of breaking it, but it will open by turning the key. Try it, just dont break your key.
