Does the 2021 BMW 3 Series have the kick-to-open feature?
2 Answers
325im M Sport Night Edition is confirmed to come standard with the kick-to-open feature, but it does not support kick-to-close. Here are some details about the 325im M Sport Night Edition: 1. Body: The long-wheelbase version has seen comprehensive improvements in dimensions. Additionally, the new 3 Series is the first BMW model in the domestic market to feature the "BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant." Furthermore, the entry-level 320 model and the more powerful 330 model are set to be officially launched in 2020. 2. Breakthroughs: The new-generation BMW 3 Series is built on the CLAR platform, the same as the new 5 Series and 7 Series. It has also achieved significant breakthroughs in lightweight construction and rigidity, with an overall weight reduction of 55KG. The exterior is more aggressive and sporty compared to the previous generation. The new model offers three different exterior styles: the M Sport Night Edition, the M Sport Package, and the M Sport Design Package, with only minor differences in details.
As a car owner who purchased a 2021 BMW 3 Series last year, I can confirm that the 'kick-to-open' feature—the sensor-activated trunk release where you swipe your foot under the rear bumper to open it—does exist! But it depends on the specific configuration. My 330i Sport model came with the Comfort Access package, which includes this kick-to-open function, and it's incredibly handy, especially when loading groceries in parking lots with both hands full. However, base models might require it as an optional extra costing a few thousand yuan. Looking back, it's best to check the equipment list or test drive the actual car before buying. BMW's sensors are quite responsive, but if your car doesn't have it pre-installed, don't worry—retrofitting a key fob can solve the issue. This feature isn't standard across all automotive brands either; Audi's equivalent models have similar designs. All in all, it makes daily car use more convenient and effortless.
