Why doesn't Kxe1 lead to mate?

Nevermind. Bc3+ ruins it.

I looked at the answer because i felt i exhausted all the possible options, but i still don't get the answer. If Bxb2, i don't see the final move.

Oh duh. I see it now. Toughy.

It's a good puzzle, but it would have been nice to carry it through until the eventual mate.
