Hi da-055 I’ve seen this post already
I think his car is a m3 I have the m4 coupe and I try doing the same thing he did but the problem is I dnt have that emergency trunk latch And my seating position is a little different to his I think the only way is to wiring the car so that it bypass the battery so that the car will have power to start What type of people knows how to do this ? Electrician ,mechanics etc does anyone knows? I really dnt wanna call bmw because they gonna charge me a arm and a leg |

This happened to me when I was installing the steering wheel.
Solution is to get a jump start cable connect it in the engine bay and you will have the power to open the boot from inside the cabin. Hope it helps. |

this glaring design fault occurred to me when i was half way through installing my electric trunk kit - if the supplied electric latch fails, how do i get into the trunk as M3 seat releases are in the trunk
i ended up buying all the parts to retrofit the US style safety release - the glow in the dark release lever that US regs have in case someone gets locked in the trunk this way i can pull the side rear seat bolster off, and fish for the remote release through the gap Last edited by domino_z; 08-13-2019 at 10:42 PM.. |

Not a kit, I got all the part numbers from this thread and put it together during my trunk install
