I would like some help from E61 owners with electric operated bootlid please......

Few months ago I started having problem with the remote key to lock or unlock the car after operating the bootlid.
While the bootlid is moving, the car does not respone to the any button of the key. (Believe this is normal?)
However after the boot is fully openned or closed. I should be able to lock or unlock the doors by pressing the button on the key fob. Well....not anymore.

Brought it back to the dealer and had the key signal receiver "What they call an Amplifier" changed. All worked fine on the first week but the same problem is coming back again.

Have any one of you guys experienced the same problem? If so, any resolution to this at all?

Please suggest.

That should be something for the BMW service properly to solve.

"While the bootlid is moving, the car does not response to the any button of the key"
I would also say it's normal.

I would say your problem has to do with the lid not closing proper.
New lid pumps and/or electrical engine, at least some adjustments is needed.


CIP Program 30.something is also available...

We had problems with our car's electrics (though I can't remember what it was now) and I think the Shark's fin on the roof is succeptable (sp?) to weather damage.

Ours was replaced and resealed and everything's been tickety boo ever since.
