    Remote Key doesn't close hatch/trunk?

    Does anyone know why the BMW key bob will only open the hatch or trunk and not close it? I asked a lot of friends that drive all kinds of other makes from Ford, Honda, Chevy, Subaru, etc. and everyone not only opens but closes the rear hatch. I have an X1 2017 that's in for recalls, so I tested this on the 530i loaner with the same results - it goes up but does not come down. So with my hands full of packages from unloading I get my exercise lifting the packages up to hit the silly button to get it to close - What a Luxury? Shouldn't it be simple programing on the key - if it can send the raise signal, why not the close signal that the button sends???
