Unable to open boot

Hi, I've been fixing a couple of issues with my Z4 (2004). I went for a drive today and when I returned, I tried to open the boot with the button on the lower drivers dash. I hear the motor but the boot doesn't open. I've also tied the key, the same.
I've also tried opening the boot with INPA, motor works but the boot will not open.
Does anyone know how to open the boot, is there an emergency pull cord or similar?

Thanks
 
Thanks, tried pushing down hard and tried pulling, nothing. Motor works. Tried the roof operation which works fine so it's not interfering.
 
I still can't open the boot. I have tried pushing down, wiggling the boot from side to side and using a rubber mallet to tap the area behind the badge, all while pressing the boot unlock, also tried with the key, it won't budge!
Does anyone have any other ideas how I might be able to open the boot?
Thanks
 
I’m struggling to know what else to suggest apart from a well protected tyre lever or pry bar

At a push you could try to get the parcel shelf moved but even if you do you won’t be able to remove it or get into the boot in a meaningful way
 
I've tried opening the boot with pump wedges. I saw somewhere on another post, someone suggested drilling a hole on the middle behind the badge, then using a scewdriver to unlock the mechanism.
Could this work?
 
There is a pretty big circle behind the badge deffo

I’m just trying to recall what actually sits there and what benefit you will get from drilling

If it’s a case of getting a hole big enough to get a bar in to smack the crap out of the mech I’d say it’s worth a try

Is there something in the boot that’s stuck in the lock mech?
