guys.

Changed the boot lid. Swapped everything over. Tried it a couple of times. Worked fine

Now it’s shut and won’t open. Key unlocks and locks. But the lock won’t pop open

How do you open it with out smashing the boot lid

Cheers all

You possibly didn’t put the actuator rod back properly. It clicks into place but it’s easy to fail to do that.

Look on YouTube there's a video shows you how to get the boot open.

Just watched the video on U tube as I was curious how it was done.
Basically you have to remove the rear BMW emblem, drill a hole and push the catch.
It would make sense to get a small blanking grommet and drill the hole to suit, so it could be easily sealed once job has been done. And once the Emblem reinstated, wouldn’t see it anyway.

Strange, as you posted about it in the link to the thread I posted up .... :rolleyes:
But it doesn't mention it in the link does it? Just a link to my original post, which knowing you could've been about anything. . . . . . . .
