I isolated the battery in my 550 before travelling according to BMW advisor, but when I was trying to open the trunk where the battery is located, it does not open using the switch. Any assisstance?

I think it should be possible to use normal (hard) key to open the lock and then open the trunk by handle which is above register plate.

Right -- the hard key should actually pop the latch immediately [...]
At least I now know how the alarm sounds
