Unhappy Do You Have A Trunk Button?

Do you have a button left of the footwell area that lets you open the trunk?
My E38 has this button nearby the OBD socket. My E92 doesn't.

E.g. when I stop at a garbage can and wanna empty the trunk it doesn't open by just pressing the deck lid handle (unlock inhibit feature?). I'd have to take the key with me which can be annoying when the key is in the slot (must go back into the car and stop the motor in order to release the key)

Don't recall if I do on the sedan at least? But, if you unlock all doors it should unlock the trunk as well.. Unless, you just unlock the drivers door, then it might still be locked? I have CA and if the key is on my person and the car is locked it won't matter..

My '07 E92 has the button. Much easier to use than the trunk button since it's always locked once the car autolocks at 15mph. I almost never unlock all doors when I get out so the trunk is always locked.

I'm about 99% sure I have one, though I'll double check next time I'm in the car. I have a 2008 E92 335 in case that matters.

You have to stop the motor to take the key out of the slot? Oh, man, that must suck. I never put my key in the slot. I couldn't imagine not having Comfort Access. Sounds like it really sucks. You have to shut your car off just to open your trunk?

ALL doors? Seriously? You have an E92, I think you meant to say BOTH doors, since you only have 2.

And no, I've never used my trunk button, even when BOTH doors are locked, it's much easier to just go up to the trunk and grab the handle to open it. Although I wish I had the newer version of Comfort Access when all you have to do is slide your foot under the trunk and it opens. It would make it a lot easier when carrying large objects. I wouldn't have to bend over and put them down so I could grab the trunk handle, I'd just be able to slide my foot under the trunk, trunk pops open, and then lower the things in my hands into the trunk. Ah, E92 problems. (I believe that option for Comfort Access came out of the F30s)

Upon driving my car today I DO indeed have a trunk button, however, I DON'T have a flashlight nor means to connect a flashlight in the glovebox
