So my Aunt gave me a 530i this morning. Only thing is I have to get the key out of the trunk. I tried the trunk release button but that didn't work, tried to remove the rear seat but seems like its sealed behind the seat and you can't access the trunk, I was told about a valet switch, I found a switch in the center console and tried it but that didn't help either. So at this point is the only option paying for a new key?

Is the battery charged? If not, charge it and try the remote trunk release again.

Battery is charged. I ended up getting a valet key cut to open the trunk. I will get another key cut soon

Yeah, I had to call a locksmith to pick the trunk cylinder when that happened to me.
