E90 remote trunk open

Is the trunk not supposed to open up but just release when I press the remote?

Unless you unlock all doors then you will be able to press on the latch to open the trunk.

Yes, but you must press the trunk button in the remote continiously for a few seconds.

yes, but in order to prevent accidental opening s try pressing it down for a few seconds....

Big difference between opening and unlocking. Press the trunk button for a couple of seconds and you can hear the solenoid release but the trunk does not open, just unlocks. There isn't any visible difference between an unlocked trunk and one that is locked.
