Good news: retrofit for boot lid release button is now available from PML at S$275.
if the trunk key slot is at 3 o'clock (ie. locked) does this button work?
if it is not locked, we don't have to use the key/remote to open the boot.
i don't see how by spending S$275 will help ease the pain.
I drive with my trunk locked, so at hotels when they used to check for hidden explosives I have to off the engine, take the key and press the remote control to release the boot. It is stupid isn't it?
So with the release button in the cabin, will that remedy this problem?

zag, you can release the bootlid without switching off engine. The button only releases the lid and does not close it because the E60 is not wired to close lid electronically.
