If the trunk of your BMW 3 Series is stuck from the inside, don’t panic. On the F30 and F31 models, you can open the rear trunk in an emergency without damaging the lock.

To perform this operation, get inside the vehicle and fold down the rear seats to access the trunk. Lift the trunk carpet to access the vehicle's emergency tools.

Take a hook and insert it into the lock lever. This will allow you to open the trunk without forcing the lock.

Complete the necessary work and close the trunk.
