you can jump it from under the hood. there is a positive terminal and negative is the chasis. correct me if I am wrong. did you know that you have a regular key in your remote? the trunk can be opened with that key.

Well they actually took that key slot out of LCI models. So don't feel stupid. Someone had a similar problem but the negative battery cable was disconnected from his battery for shipping....so he couldn't jump the car. He had to "trick" the trunk into opening by tapping into the wire that opens the trunk.

Well with people modding their ECU with the JB3, Dinan, etc tunes and bringing them in with engine problems to be warrantied.....it's no wonder BMW needs to cost cut.

Have you guys realized since BMW has released the N54, cost cutting has been more and more common?

Problem - installing JB4 and MTech spoiler...

Disconnected battery and then closed the trunk to mount spoiler...now I can't open trunk...

Diagram of wires I need to jump?

Key won't open the trunk...

Problem solved...I feel like a clown...
