Anyone else come out in the morning to find their trunk open all night? I can’t tell you how many times this has happened and we had a monsoon last night. I have 4 BMW’s currently and have had 5 others and never ever have I had this issue on than on my 2015 f30. I have taken the protective cover off I bought and all. I need to disable the button someone I’m so beyond pissed and scared to death to look in my trunk today.

Thanks for any info

Yes I've found my trunk open all night twice, and once all day at work. Not sure if it was the key fob or the foot sensor thing tripping by mistake. That thing is over sensitive, several times the trunk has popped from walking around it.

The latch on my Subaru was defective. Once in a while the trunk would fly open on the highway or stopped at a light. I'm waiting for that to start happening...

Sorry yours went up during the rain. That really sucks .... I'd be pissed

My car has a switch in the glove box to turn off the opening of the trunk with the button on the driver's side and the fob. Do you not have the same type of switch on your car?

There's a service bulletin to change coding to require multiple presses of the fob to open the trunk. You can find the thread on this site with details. If you have comfort access, it's also possible to inadvertently trigger the trunk release while walking behind the car.

Edit: Found the link.

Had the same issue innitially. A key cover solved it. Above solution works as well.

In the glove box there is a switch which allows you to lock the trunk.

Don't blame the fob. If you're pushing the button it's your fault. If you're not something else is triggering the trunk release.

Valet switch in glove box?

BTW--how are you accidentally pressing the trunk button so often overnight?

Well I’m guessing it’s in my pocket when I come home and before I make it upstairs I must do something that triggers it in my pocket. Either way it’s a piss poor design and has never happened on any of my E series. As far as the foot sensor wouldn’t the key have to be in range for this to work? If not animals could be running under it at night for all I know lol.

Thanks for this! I figured it had to be a known issue.

[Billfitz]

It's known that people ass open their trunks, so there's a fix to account for that. But it's still not the fob's fault. Maybe it's a neighbors TV remote or garage door opener, maybe it's a short in the fob. To be sure it's not that keep the fobs in a metal can, so even if defective they can't send a signal to the car.

[luckyyyyyyy]

My key was in my pocket and it opened up my trunk while I was parked in a tight space height-wise and it scratched up my trunk.. i feel you

Correct.

[wrickem]

Op- I hope you made out okay and didn't get a ton of water in your electronics under the trunk floor. Good luck

Many thanks for that link, because the same thing happened to me. The trunk popped open with the fob in my pocket and a cover on the fob.

I just went down and tested mine. I squeezed on the entire outer fob cover with my thumb and the fob in my pocket. Trunk opened right up. Went into iDrive and found I have a setting for the trunk button to open either the trunk, or the trunk and unlock all doors.

I plan on having the double push coded in on my next service.

[NavS]

I wonder if there's an api for this. Like an ITTT where if forecast is rain and windows or trunk is open then send a message or alert to close them.

[Elvisfan]

Don’t know when the trunk is opening. But I’ve gone to back out of my garage and found the trunk open several times.

CA is ok. Line control is extremely annoying. All of these aids are making drivers lazy as well as unaware of their surroundings. Instead of offering all of these conveniences, manufactures should offer driver training. Cars are always improving but the shitty drivers are still on the roads.
