I believe that on North America E60 saloons the trunk can be released by pressing a dash mounted switch ( as well as the release on the key fob and the trunk lid itself ) .

If thats right, could someone tell me where the release button is mounted on the dash ( a picture would be really great!! )

Thanks

Its located just above the hood release handle next to the drivers leg

Euro E60 are getting it from September, but you can see it on 3 Series cars in the UK

My car was produced in January 2005 and I didn't get it. It was on my E39 though.
