My Ride: 530i Touring
I have a September 2005 build Touring M Sport.
I have observed that whether the luggage compartment cover lifts when the tailgate is opened appears to be a random event.
Should the luggage compartment cover lift every time the tailgate is opened - and by whatever means, be it the button in the driver's footwell, the button on the remote control or the button on the tailgate itself?

I had my covers and roller modified due to this reason. It came up randomly.
I have also seen that there seems to be a option of motorized roller on MY07.

My Ride: e39 525i Touring, will order e61 as soon as I can decide on engine and options...
On my car, the roller goes up but also down automatically. Every time.

BTW - on my April '05 E61 it opens whenever the tailgate or the window is opened; I don't yet have the footwell button. So, it sounds like the OP's cover may be faulty

If I remember correctly from your previous posts, you have the electric opening tailgate - this means automatic roller open/close as well. Us lesser mortals with manual opening have to close the load cover as well! (and regularly forget)

I have the electric lid, but I have to close the roller manually. I have a MY06 so I'm wondering if I can convince my self to get the roller modified...

My Ride: November 2005, E61 535d SE Sapphire Black, Black Dakota Leather Comfort Seats, Dark Poplar trim, Pro Navigation, Bluetooth Phone Prep, 6xCD Changer, High Gloss Shadowline, Xenons, folding mirrors, removable towbar, plus other options, Style 166 (M5) 19" alloys (ditched the runflats!)
Mine used to go up when it felt like it. Had it replaced by the dealer with a new type which had little roller bearings on the spigots which run up the tracks each side. Worked perfectly after that.

Well, its really convenient. But I wish the boot floor was a little bit deeper/lower; all that wasted space below, no spare etc. Would make it easier to fit luggage and trolley under the cover. Now the cover stays at home on longer journeys.

Should the luggage compartment cover lift every time the tailgate is opened - and by whatever means, be it the button in the driver's footwell, the button on the remote control or the button on the tailgate itself?
