F31 comfort access boot opening

Does anyone know the official way to open the boot by waving your foot under the rear?

I can't seem to make it work all the time and having looked at the manual it doesn't seem to be in there (probably me missing it mind).

Cheers

My CA tells me the recommended method is to stand behind and kick like you're kicking a soccer ball. Not left-right, just kick forward.

I couldn't get mine to work the other day (just arrived from VPC). Dealer is checking b4 scheduled delivery on Monday afternoon.

I lightly tap the bottom of the bumper. Works every time.

I think the key is to draw your foot out again straight away (so it knows you're not just standing very close to the car): foot dead centre, swing your foot under with medium speed, then straight back out again. This seems to be how all the guys in the demos/videos do it...

Cheers guys will try again, got a feeling I've done all those.

Do you need the car unlocked?

Cheers

Nope, works either when unlocked and locked
