Two would-be carjackers tried to steal a luxury BMW sedan but were unable to work out how to use the car's key and had to flee on foot.

The two young men confronted a 33-year-old Kensington man and his 75-year-old male passenger as they were about to start a BMW about 9.30pm last night at Quay Street, Haymarket, near the corner of Ultimo Road.

One of the bandits, brandishing a knife, forced both occupants out of the car before another man carrying a metal pole got into the driver's seat, police said.

But the two crooks could not take their planned theft any further, when they found themselves unable to deal with the intricacies of a security ignition key.

"They couldn't work out how to use the key. It was one of those new security keys that you have to do more than stick in and turn," a City Central police spokesman said.

"It was a bit of a half-baked attempt [at car theft], really."

Unable to start the car, the two crooks were forced to rely on a less rapid mode of escape - running.

Police have described the knife-wielding man as aged in his late teens with a muscular build, wearing a white cap, blue jumper and light-coloured shorts.

The second man was described as 20 years old, 175 to 180 centimetres tall, medium build with brown hair and wearing a cap and a dark jacket.

Anybody with information about the attempted theft can contact City Central police on 9265 6499 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
