If OP is disconnecting the battery, then leave the trunk closed but not latched (re: dont slam the trunk shut) that way the battery will be accessible in the spring. Also if there is fold down rear seats, then leave 1 side folded down in case someone accidently latches the trunk, there will still be a back up way to access the battery.

From what I understand the M235i has no trunk keyhole.

Damn.. didn't realize trunk keyholes were a thing of the past lol
But from what I understand you should still be able to use the driver side keyhole to open the door.. even on a frameless window. You may have to trim tool to get the window past the seal if anything, but there's still a cylinder there that will unlock and give you access to the handle. Shouldn't be difficult to do since it's just a rubber seal.
Definitely agree that if you're pulling the battery, to just leave the the trunk not latched - just going to be the easiest way without a trunk key hole.
