Re: Cant open boot from within the car
Wah Liao. BMW design the locking system so that if you use the key button to lock the car, it goes straight to dead bolt. That means that the door release handle inside the cabin is disconnected from the lock itself. So if a thief chooses to break the glass, the door will never open. You can program the car to unbolt from the inside with the door unlock button but that makes the dead bolt function redundant.

Re: Cant open boot from within the car
Huh finally u post, at least now people know I can be serious and that certain cars really don't have boot unlock button!
Let me check my manual later and see if its intention is to "replace" the boot open button.

Re: Cant open boot from within the car
Yup, heard about those methods too. But it's not the older methods of breaking the lock cylinder kind. The dead bolt is just meant to prevent petty theft where they smash glass to open door and take stuff. So with electronic means, the guy must already be in the vicinity for more time.
