Coupe rear hatch release

Wow, I feel like i'm the only one that didn't know this. I just found the hatch release and lock on my 08' coupe, behind the emblem. I never realized it was the mech. release for the hatch. I've been using the interior button and key fob all this time. I've had this Z4 for 2 months now, still learning about this thing. What else can this car do?

Now that wouldnt be any fun. That would be like us telling you what your girl friend likes before you figure it out for your self.

Soon enough, you will know her intemately. You dont want the short cuts.

Nah, the sport button is a sack of shit. Non-linear throttle response is horrible imo.

While I think the hatch release is neat in operation, it is a pain in the butt when you have a passenger. Twice now I've tried to explain how to open the hatch to two passengers I've had. I've released the lock from inside, but you still need to push open the Roundel to get something to hold on to to lift the hatch. I think it is a stupid design overall.

I love that design, so cool. Vdubs have the same, it's like knowing the secret knock.

I love that it hides the lock.

I love the hatch release. Took me two weeks to realize it was there. I found it in the owners manual while reading about that sport button I don't have.

Awesome.

Someone who has owned the car for 2 years? 3 years? just discovered the 3rd button on the key fob, as a result of a thread posted by someone who has owned the car for 2 months.




I wonder what I'm missing on mine.
