Mein Auto: BMW 530I
2006 530i Trunk won't open

I am growing very dissapointed and quite frankly nervous to drive my car. Aside from
the two craked rims and getting stranded due to frequent battery discharge, now I have my
trunk letting me down at the worst possible time. I was at my lunch break and I had placed
my hard hat and safety glasses in my trunk. I ate and when it came time to get them out nothing, this never happens to me so I turned on the car, pushed the trunk release and nothing, I pushed the key fob button and nothing. So eventually I went up to the roof to get my key. I got it open but it wouldn't shut close so I adjusted the spacers and it finally shut. Do you guys think this could be because I never registered my battery and it could be messing up
my electrical components?

I don't think spacers contributed to being locked out.

IMHO, not registering new battery wouldn't cause this kind of problem. We shouldn't attribute everything in the kitchen with not registering the battery :-)

I am having the same problem

My 2006 530i is going through the same problem. My trunck won't open using the button on my key, so I have to take the hidden Key out of the fob use it on the trunk lock. once it is opened using the Key, the trunk won't close, UNLESS I push the trunk release button under the dash, it seems to reset the lock and the trunk will close. The dealer said it was the lock component sticking, I had it replaced and it still does the same thing. Is there another way to correct this it gets rather annoying. I hope I made my point clear? any advice on how to correct this would be appriciated.
Kelly
