Where to Find the Trunk Switch on a BMW 3 Series?
2 Answers
Here are the methods to open the trunk of a BMW 3 Series: 1. Remote Key Control (Outside the Vehicle) This is the most common method for most car owners to open the trunk. The method is quite simple: just press the trunk opening button on the car key. Some models may not have a dedicated trunk opening button on the remote key, in which case pressing the unlock button will also release the trunk lock. 2. Opening Control Switch (Inside the Vehicle) The above method involves opening the trunk from outside the vehicle. In fact, the trunk can also be opened from inside the car. Most models on the market are equipped with a trunk opening button. The location of this button varies depending on the manufacturer and model. Generally, it can be found either to the left of the steering wheel or in the central control area.
I remember the first time I drove my friend's BMW 3 Series, I couldn't find the trunk switch either. Later, I discovered its design was quite special. There's a prominent trunk icon button in the door control area on the left side of the driver's seat, which is the most commonly used. Pressing the circular arrow button on the car key for two seconds can also open it, which is especially convenient on rainy days. There's actually a sensor button hidden below the rear logo—just reach in and touch it to open. The high-end version even allows you to swipe your foot under the bumper for automatic opening, which is a real game-changer when carrying stuff and freeing up your hands. Once you get used to these positions, you start to appreciate how much smarter they are compared to traditional handles. BMW has really put thought into human-machine interaction.
