Anyone out there know how to properly reduce the tension of the spring loaded trunk on an 05 530i? My wife has a hard time closing the thing and I can't tell her to just go to the gym and work out.

ya the boot lid is abit on the strong side.
when opening it you have to get the kid to say away from it.
I like to know too.
Maybe change the springs?

The springs tend to loosen up after some use but if you can't wait, you can ask the dealer to adjust the tension.
If you feel like attempting it yourself, take a look at the following and be careful!
