Re: Automatic boot close
We are not alone with our frustrations with this
Southern6er22: BMW 650i xDrive Coupe
ONE QUESTION STILL UNANSWERED: Why doesn't this car have a power/automatic trunk?!?! This is extremely annoying on a daily basis, and I always feel stupid when I have to manually close my trunk when the soccer mom in the $45k Lexus next to me can push a button. My sexy, $100k coupe shouldn't be one-upped by a middle-aged, middle-class woman toting Avon and the knee nibblers. Another problem I have with the trunk is that it is very hard to close in the coupe. In the convertible, all you have to do is get the lid started in the right direction. In the coupe, however, you have to pull it shut wih a decent bit of force to make sure that trunk latches and doesn't just go down and then pop back up (see video below).

Re: Automatic boot close
Hi All,
New to this forum as I just got delivery of the 640i coupe last week. I couldn't agree more that the auto boot close feature would definitely be a great feature to have. Have checked with EleBest and it's possible to do, but requires some retrofitting of a "motor". The estimated cost quoted to me was about $1.1k for the retrofit. Corresponded with Max from EleBest. Thought I'd share this info

Re: Automatic boot close
Bro Tanad27, I can tell you that it wasn't even available as an option that I could indent (and as you know, mine was an individual-spec-indented-wait-6-months-no-sunroof-kanna-LTA-homologation car).
BMW, IMHO, dropped the ball big time on this one...

Re: Automatic boot close
Hi BoneDoc,
Thanks for the invite. Would love to join this first meet-up, but unfortunately I'll be travelling during this period for a company meeting. Will definitely try to make it for the second one in the future.
Mine's an Orion Silver - got something that easier to maintain. Previous car was black and it was really a pain to keep it looking clean and shiny.
Catch up soon
