trunk



:rofl
I was distracted re-attaching my battery terminal, while loading groceries, and doing fuckin' tech support on my phone with a guy in Ukraine.

called BMW and they said the only thing they can do is tow if to a dealer.

good thing my interior was open, but bad thing that I lost my trunk release button during my interior work.

I found a way to get into the trunk with 1 hand, and had to pull out 6 bags full of groceries through a hole thats about 3" x 6". Thats 1 item at a time :rofl


then I still couldn't feel the keys in the trunk, but FINALLY realised that there's a trunk release handle on the inside of the trunk. wow, should'a done that BEFORE pulling out the groceries :rofl

anyway, I get the trunk open, and find my keys on the battery. which is under the carpet anyway. Good thing I found that release handle.


PM me if you run into the same problem, I don't want to discuss how easy it is to get into the trunk from the interior publically.

total time 1 hour, 30 minutes

Good one Tom :rofl

How did you get bak there to get to the trunk release?

Might have been easier to bring to the dealership, all they need is to hook the car up from the ODBII port and send a signal for the lock to release.

it was 9pm, dealer closed, and tow truck would come in 2 hours. Dealer is 45 minutes away. How is this easier?

Sorry. I'll rephrase. If it was middle of the day with a quick tow to the dealership, you can remotely release the trunk lock if you can access the ODB II port.

But I guess if the windows are rolled up and no access to the interior of the car can be had...Oh well.
