Opening the trunk on a BMW X3 is very simple, especially since this vehicle features automatic opening, requiring no effort from the driver. As clearly shown in the video, the button to open it is located on the armrest of the driver's side door.

Just press that button and the trunk will open by itself. This allows you to open it even when the remote battery is dead: in this case, you can get in the car using the manual key and press the aforementioned button, and you're good to go. Note that on this car, the trunk also opens by passing your foot near the sensor under the rear bumper.
