How to open the locked tailgate on the BMW 1 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 1 E81, E82, MK 1, E87 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Checks and maintenance

In the BMW 1 Series, it may happen that the trunk door gets stuck, for example due to a problem with the control button or the lock actuator. In these cases, we can still perform the emergency opening of the trunk door by following the simple procedure shown in this tutorial. First, we open the rear doors, then we lower the backrest of the seat by activating the corresponding release lever. Next, we locate the indicated clip, release it, grab the cord and pull it towards us, in order to unlock the lock. The trunk door will now be free to be opened.
