The unique trunk opening of the 2012 BMW 3 Series initially raised suspicions among buyers but has since become a symbol of innovation and practicality. The first method to open it is to pass your foot under the trunk surface and wait about 2 seconds for the trunk to open and lift independently.

To close the trunk, guide it down and release it. If the trunk does not open automatically or manually from the inside, it may be necessary to replace the fuse related to its electronic opening.
