Lift the trunk covers in the rear hatch and press in on the trunk lid release plunger located directly under it.
You can now open your X5 truck manually.

Please note that if you lock your car with a spare key also, you will not be able to open your trunk at all, since no mechanical key will be able to open it.

You will need to unlock the car with your key first, wait for the trunk lid to fully open, and then close it again before you can continue. You should just be able to press your remote’s button at this point and drive away without opening your door.

Why do you need to open your BMWx5 trunk manually?

Many BMW X5 owners have lost their remotes, so being able to manually open the trunk can be very useful in this case. Even if you do not want to ever use your remote again, there are times when opening your trunk manually will come in handy. This is particularly true if your battery is dead or it does not seem to be working for some other reason.

How long does it take to open a BMW x5 trunk manually?

Depending on how you have opened your BMW X5’s trunk in the past, it may be easier or harder to do so. If you are used to opening it with your remote buttons, then opening the trunk manually will not take any time at all. If you are more used to using your key, then it may take a little longer to get the trunk open. Remember to press in on the trunk release plunger before trying to lift the trunk cover.
