How to manually open the trunk lid of the BMW X3

Model: BMW X3 MK 1, E83 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Checks and maintenance

Today we will see the instructions that will allow us to manually open the rear tailgate of the BMW X3 trunk, in case the lock is stuck. First, we lower the rear seats of the car to access the interior of the luggage compartment; we remove the floor covering to access the lock or closure of the trunk, as shown in the video. At this point, we manually unlock the lock using a sharp tool (such as a screwdriver), pushing on the lock pin to open the locked tailgate of the trunk!
