Thats just how the car is designed unfortunately. Living in the PNW where it rains a lot here, I sometimes just wipe off the still water from the trunk before opening it.

What I dont understand is that the trunk can be opened with the remote but not closed..... why you do that BMW?

I love the HK on my 2016...

I think that's a US reg. thing...not sure if there is a code around it or not?

I believe it can be coded to close.
I think the reason it doesn't come from factory as being able to close with the remote is for safety/liability.

That's how every car I have owned handles water. Try a hatchback!!

Can be coded.... I did on both my 535's.

how about every time you look the car over it seems to scratch itself or chip some paint off the hood. They need to be able to code that out. can't figure it out :

I coded mine and can close the trunk via fob.

Pretty easy to do .

What and how did you code it? I've wanted to code a few things but I couldn't find anyone to do it around here.

I like my hifi too. I read a lot of complaints and thought it would sound terrible. Bass is great but there could be more mid and top detail. I feel its more than adequate for a base system.

I wonder if there were any changes for LCI

I have the HK in my car and it has spoiled me rotten. I'm curious on a B&O on how much better they sound... my buddy's V10 R8 has B&O, but I've never heard it over the engine!

Double tap the start/stop button so your car is off. Quickly, hold the wiper lever up as far as it will go for a few seconds. That's it. Works flawlessly 100% of the time in both of mine that have this wonderful "feature"
I spent the weekend working on the car, and didn't know this feature even existed....works well and thanks for all of this knowledge sharing

Hate the rear vents only use cold air. Sucks when it's cold.
Hate that I have to adjust the auto climate control with the middle dash wheel.
