Q: Where is the trunk / boot release on the BMW E46?A: This is located just above the liscence plate. It is an electronic button which activates the release mechanism.

Where is the trunk / boot release on the BMW E46?
Finally.... found one!
After a good few weeks of looking around. Finally I managed to find a Silver 330Ci in very good condition with 75k on the clock.
The car has some nice touches:
- Electric Folding Mirrors
- Electric memory seats with lumbar support
- All the tool kit in place
- BMW Boot protector - handy for putting the shopping in and anything going to the tip
It also has some slight let downs:
- Curbing on the alloy wheels
- Slight scuff on the near side wing mirror
The only things I'd of ideally liked would be the M Sport front bumper and the M Sport steering wheel. These items can be sourced online and fitted.
I think the bumper is about £350 painted and the steering wheel is £150 - ish so not too bad.
Over all I'm happy with it. Very smooth and power there when needed. The cock-pit is more roomy than the old E36 and the build quality seems more sound (however the old E36 320 I had was nearly 18 years old)
I must admit you really can't tell this car is 9 years old. The interior is in really good condition. Leather is almost perfect and all the electrics work as they should.
Here are a few initial pictures after getting it home:
