Dead battery - Coupe boot access

Post by Austin » Thu Jun 29, 2017 6:33 am

So I seem to have a 100% flat battery, with the key not even activating locks. I can manually open my car door, but can't figure how to get into the boot to access the battery.

Any suggestions?

There is a key lock under the BMW badge/handle on the boot of coupes.

You could also apply power to the terminals in the engine bay.

I looked for those as I have them on my daily but couldn't locate them. I will look again, with my eyes open this time! 😳

Thanks. Things you learn after 2 years of ownership!
