I have 745li and my trunk doesnt open with my remote nor with the button inside, any ideas?

Check you hotel switch located in the center console. Make sure it is in the unlock position. When locked the trunk can not be accessed by button or remote.

Thnx... That was it.. :)

Mine still doesnt work. It shows unlocked. When I press the trunk button on the inside it makes the noise to open but it wont lift it up.

Center console switch did the trick. I bought this car over a yr ago and still finding new switches and nuances Thanks for the help

Yes the Hotel switch did the trick - Thanks for the help!

OMG!!! I tried getting this fixed for about 6 months and guess what? IT WORKED!!! Thanks so much!!!!

i have the same problem with remote wont open the trunk and I did checked center console to make sure its unlocked which it is.. but no sign. anyone out there have answer please thanks in advnace

Omg. I thought I was going crazy this worked for me it’s been like this for months. Thanks thanks thanks

Hi everybody!! Boy am I happy...it worked... I've had this car since 2004 and did not know this. i certainly appreciate you...thanks!!

I didn’t know the Hotel switch existed - this solved the problem on my 2015 650. I was close to taking it in to my local BMW dealership ... I hope they would have determined that this was the problem, but if they did I would have still paid a service charge.

Where is the hotel switch located on the console

Thanks my kids click the lock truck button inside the arm rest...

Thank You!!! That was the problem. My detailer must have hit the switch. Sure enough it was in the lock position.
