Learned something new
I've had an intermittent "problem" where the trunk won't latch closed and reopen. Weeeelllllll I finally figured it out! I have been in the habit of starting the trunk closing and then (sometimes) walking away. Once I get a few feet away the trunk will "close" then immediately reopen. As long as I stay near the car no problem!
Only took me 3 1/2 years to figure this out! |

Haha nice! I have to get around to swapping out those replacement springs as my trunk will fly open when I hit the button. I still have to put my hand on the trunk than press the button lol. Been procrastinating ordering the parts

Hmm I do not have that issue... I hit close and walk away and have never had it reopen.

OP, have you tried replacing the batteries in your remote?

I also can close it with the remote, again it always works for me. Not sure if that's OEM though as I bought mine used, someone could have coded it.

Closing with a remote needs to be coded which many of us have done so.

I swapped out my springs Memorial Day weekend. It wasn't too bad of a DIY.

There was a TSB on trunk not closing all the way and instead popping back open to half position. BMW addeessed in a software update. Meaning dealer needs to upgrade your iStep level. My 2016 had the issue and dealer resolved when car was new.

On a side note, as much fun as the street car (named Desire) is from The French Quarter to the Garden District, driving my 535 2/3 (so far) of the way across the country is infinitely more fun!! This car eats mile after mile for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Off to Asheville tomorrow!
