I got my 2001 325 a couple of months back. Since then, I have always wondered where the trunk opener is, and I can't find it - not even at the place manual says it exists. Only way is to use a remote or key.
Has this happened to anyone?

i have a 2001 325 ci and i'm 99.9% positive the only way you can open the trunk is with the button/key.

the guy i bought it from also told me it's the only way.

if you look insde the driver's foot well, you can find a little btn. (i had had time finding it the first few looks, and could've sworn it didnt' exist!)

there's also and external opener right above the license plate holder, btw the two lights that shines on the lic plate. its rubbery and you can push on it, but you have ot make sure all the doors are unlocked. good luck~

That's how it is on my 03. I can't imagine they'd add that feature midway through the life span of this car.

I'm sure that button is there. It's incredibly tiny though. I use the key instead of the button tho cuz it's too hard to reach for me.

And yeah, the external opener is tricky cuz it's flush and you wouldn't think that it's a button. It's rubber tho so you can find it by feel. Only works if everything is unlocked.

That's what I had thought too. At a gas station, I asked a guy with 2001Ci if he had. He said he did and showed me. But in my car, the place when button should have existed is empty.
