    BMW 320i E90 trunk wont open

    Hi there, please help. My E90 2011 model won't open the trunk, i tried the key, button inside from driver side and switch in the gloves box but nothing, funny when I drive off the car senses the truck is open and keeps on beeping that the trunk is open. What could be the problem? Why is the trunk stuck?

    No, it is not a convertible but a normal standard sedan.

    Okay, because normally verts have the locking switch in the glove box is why I am asking.

    So what tends to happen is the wiring loom goes from the body into the trunk, and from opening/closing the trunk tends to weaken the wires in that loom. Over time some wires will break, and cause odd issues like plate lights not working, ect. Do you have a ski sack? You can get into the trunk that way and pull the manual release to open it.
