Colonel Drives: 2021 M2C Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Atlanta | Trunk kept popping open This morning I kept the laptop bag in my trunk when car was locked and it kept popping up 4-5 times when I stepped back from the car. Finally unlocked the car and locked it and did not get the issue, any idea what it could be? Was the kick sensor triggering? I was a foot back from the car. __________________ 2021 M2C HS/6MT/Exec/Moonroof |

Banned Drives: 2016 M3 MWM ZCP Join Date: Mar 2013 Location: Austin | I've not had that happen per se, but I have had my trunk open because of the key being jammed in my front pocket under my wallet and it hit the trunk release button long enough to trigger it. That's why I have a case on my key despite the added bulk. |

Captain Drives: F90 M5 Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: UK | My car started to do this - I took it to the dealer and they said a software update was required. Hadn't done it again since, and the new software also brings many other benefits! __________________ F90 M5 (Marina Bay Blue, M Performance Parts) |

What new benefits you got out of the software update? Secondly i dont see how software update can fix a trunk latch issue, as of now i am not 100% sure if it is a car issue or the keyfob button got pressed accidentally when it was in my pocket. didnt happen on way back from work. __________________ 2021 M2C HS/6MT/Exec/Moonroof |

That's why I have a case on my key despite the added bulk. I've had the same issue before getting keyfob case. Probably had the trunk release button pressed accidentally before I drove off. Fortunately, I noticed it after 30 seconds and pulled over and shut it. Decided to get the alcantara keyfob case after that incident and haven't had the issue since. |

I had a key fob case, so I was sure it was opening by itself. They seemed to know that there was an update for it. Have you heard that the 2016 cars have a different sound to the 2015s? Software update does that - my car sounds much better since the update. Also updates the M HUD to show the revs more clearly in blue. __________________ F90 M5 (Marina Bay Blue, M Performance Parts) |

Lieutenant Colonel Drives: 2018 Model 3 Performance Join Date: Oct 2014 Location: PA | I had the M Performance diffuser installed at the port. I don't believe the kick sensor was disabled, or there's a software bug with whatever rev is on my M3. Walking anywhere near the trunk with the car unlocked results in the trunk opening. I was already planning to have them disable the sensor at break in service, but perhaps I'll ask for whatever the latest software version is to be flashed as well. |

Faster on 2wheels Drives: M4GTS Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Silicon Valley | I had this happen to me in the fkn carwash (touchless of course). Lucky for me it was during the air dry and not when the jets were spraying my car. My best guess is that my foot sensor somehow got activated by the water. I've had my trunk pop open in the past...this probably bc of me sitting on them. I just lock my trunk. Better safe than sorry. |
