Boot opening with key (premium coupe club)

[ben_p]

Right, Ive had loads of beemers with the hex key.. (same as I have on my coupe) all of them if the car was locked but you hold the boot button down for 1 second the boot would semi open/unlock

with the coupe this does not happen, if the car is unlocked it works but when its not I have to unlock the doors with the fob then press it :/

anyone else have this

Yes i noticed the same thing but when i mentioned it to the dealer when i had to take the car in to have a key programmed they said that is the way it is on the coupe a fail safe to stop you locking the keys in the boot

copout excuse lol

Your probably right on that count,the boot opening function from the fob worked on my 320 coupe so what is the difference :?

 

[ben_p]

yeah my M3 worked and my 330d I have works also!

Its kind of a pointless button now :/ if the doors are open anyway I just lift the badge and the boot opens lol

 

[mmm-five]

Mine works the same whether locked or unlocked.

When i had my roadster the boot popped up from the fob even when it was locked :?

this is a programmable function.

My roadster (which unlike the coupe doesnt have the flap to open the boot) wouldnt unlock the boot with the doors locked.. so i would need to unlock the doors then pres the boot release button.

I took it to the independent dealer to get it reprogrammed

premium coupe club? there will be a premiun roadster club next

i just checked mine, mine does flip up unless its unlocked first

 

[DrNick]

aquazi is spot on

 

[mason storm]

My Coupes the same only unlucks when doors are already opened, which seems pointless. Any idea how much a stealer will rip you off to change the programme?

x2... Maybe it's an ///M thing oke:

 

[nicko]

anyone else have this

yep
Is it really all that useful a feature though?
Having access to a locked boot and then re-locking it with 1 button press instead of 2
I can't say I've missed it

Sorry to burst your bubble but mine won't open unless the cars unlocked

Also I'm surprised that auto door locking when the vehicle starts moving isn't set on as a standard feature, given the chance of car jacking in a premium car . Even my transit does this and no one would want to steal that pile of shite...

Well I tell you what, how about we swap cars, no one will notice colour wise and I'm happy to relieve you of the burden of driving around with such a terrible set of alloys on your car.... no no... don't thank me, Im just a caring person... :wink:

I always thought the boot didn't open on the coupe as it's directly into the passenger compartment and would set the alarm off, no?

I'm a generous, caring person too, so how about we share them? Do you want near side or off side?
