Let's look at three methods to open the trunk of your BMW 3 Series if you are out of power: many BMWs have a hidden physical lock under the emblem or near the license plate. You can use the mechanical key, extracted from the remote, to directly open the trunk.

The second method is to go through the rear seats: by folding them down with the mechanical button, you can access the trunk and find the internal release button (or lever). It is often phosphorescent or light-colored.

The third method is to use jumper cables or a booster to provide power to the vehicle so you can open the trunk.
